Vladislav Vasilevich
@vladislavv
Experienced backend engineer specializing in Java/Kotlin, distributed systems, and cloud-native services.
What I'm looking for
I am a backend-focused software engineer with extensive experience in Java (8+ years) and Kotlin (3+ years), building distributed, cloud-native systems and real-time services. I take ownership of architecture, design, and full lifecycle development from prototypes to production.
My background includes designing and delivering backend and full-stack features for social, gaming, alerting, ride-hailing, licensing, and IoT-related systems using Spring, Quarkus, Reactor/Mutiny, Kafka/Pulsar, Cassandra, DynamoDB, Postgres, Docker and Kubernetes. I frequently refactor legacy code, integrate third-party APIs, and write automated tests to improve stability and observability.
I enjoy end-to-end responsibility — implementing new features, troubleshooting production incidents, improving CI/CD and deployment automation, and mentoring cross-team collaboration. I ship pragmatic, well-documented solutions and continuously explore performance and deployment optimizations (including native images).
