What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own backend systems end-to-end—CI/CD, Kubernetes deployments, and observability—while integrating AI-assisted development into the workflow and shipping production services.

I’ve shipped and operated production systems at real scale, from a VPN used by 100M+ people to decentralized-AI infrastructure on Bittensor. Most recently, I built and ran Subnet 17’s mining-competition backend end-to-end at Atlas/404-GEN (Atlas as an enterprise-facing layer), including a Rust Gateway service, CI/CD, GPU-provider deployments on RunPod/Targon/Verda/GCP, and Grafana-based observability.

I also co-founded and technical-led a CRM startup at Plyas IT, designing the system architecture, building the backend and Vue.js frontend, and implementing a Rust performance-critical balance-calculator microservice. Earlier roles covered C++ cross-platform VPN work at Windscribe and distributed employee-monitoring engineering at Teramind, including DirectX-based screen-change detection and ClickHouse analytics for tracking pipelines.
