What I'm looking for

I am seeking a Software Engineer role where I can build scalable web products, work with AI and blockchain, lead technical improvements, and join a growth-oriented team open to impact and relocation.

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 9+ years of experience building production web services, AI integrations, and blockchain-enabled dApps. I founded and launched a startup MVP that produced an ecosystem of ~10 web services and AI-generated applications.

I have led engineering teams and delivered reliability and performance improvements: designing ELT pipelines for 0.5–1 TB/day, creating a Grafana monitoring and alerting platform that increased SLA from 70% to 99%, and optimizing containerized Python microservices for full CPU utilization.

My technical strengths include React.js/TypeScript, Python (FastAPI/Aiohttp), Docker-based infra, PostgreSQL/Redis, TON smart-contract integration, and AI API wrappers. I bring product-minded engineering, experience with CI/CD and CDN deployment, and a track record of shipping end-to-end systems.
