Senior backend engineer building AI-driven distributed systems and production platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior backend engineer who builds reliable, high-performance systems—especially where AI workflows meet production-grade engineering. At Bank CenterCredit, I focused on shipping AI-powered automation that measurably improves developer throughput and cycle times.
Recently, I built an AI-powered code review agent (Claude API, Mastra) integrated into CI/CD, reducing review feedback by 60% and cutting cycle time from 24h to 30m. I also designed an AI-driven Figma → Code platform using LLM + MCP + Kafka to generate production-ready UI code across React, iOS, Android, and Flutter.
My core strength is distributed, event-driven architecture with fault tolerance. I architected workflow orchestration with Kafka and Temporal (planning → coding → QA → MR) including human-in-the-loop approvals, plus deterministic validation pipelines that enforce correctness in automated code generation.
Earlier, at Norsec, I scaled a high-load auction platform ($50M+ monthly transaction volume), reduced API latency 5×, and improved peak-load performance by 80% through SQL and service refactoring. I’m comfortable owning infrastructure and delivery too—production Kubernetes, CI/CD (GitLab), and security (2FA)—while applying DDD and Clean Architecture to keep systems modular and maintainable.
