## About

```text
At Cloudflare, I reduced infrastructure resource usage by 90% and delivered full fault tolerance and DDoS-resilient architecture for a business-critical service.

I implemented AI-assisted code review and AI-based search using LLM and MCP. I also presented engineering talks to a 2,000-person company audience.

At Revolut, I built a company-wide ATS platform and introduced ML interview analytics. I implemented the Outbox pattern to eliminate Kafka message loss and cut database load by 30%.
