Vasyl Chyypesh
@vasylchyypesh
Senior Backend Engineer with 14+ years of software engineering experience, specialising in Node.js, TypeScript and AWS.
What I'm looking for
At Codify, I built AWS Marketplace and App Store integrations for Stigg.io, including subscription management for one of its largest customers, with 3.5 million users. I also maintained and extended Stripe and Zuora billing connectors across the subscription lifecycle.
At Visible Magic, I contributed to breaking Zelus Wallet’s backend into 11 independently deployable microservices, personally designing five. I also designed an EVM transaction service and built cryptocurrency data and balance services, plus a secure offline blockchain transaction signing system.
I built an AWS Lambda application for parallel NFT minting that sustained peak traffic of approximately 5,000 requests per minute, and created a microservice template that reduced new-service setup from approximately eight hours to one. I also built an LLM-as-a-Judge evaluation pipeline for a web3 RAG chat system using OpenAI API and Langfuse.
Earlier, I built data aggregation, document-processing, and product backends at Erbis, SharpMinds, Azinec, and ThinkMobiles. My work has included third-party integrations, production support, observability, and service delivery across SaaS, FinTech, and web3 products.
