I build reliable backend systems for pricing, payments, antifraud, data infrastructure, and crypto/Web3 products. 5+ years in production backend engineering.

Experience at a glance

Company Dates Context
Ozon Jul 2020 – Oct 2022 Marketplace infrastructure · storage and Kafka
GotBit Oct 2022 – Nov 2023 Crypto market-making systems · EVM, Solana, and TON

I work best on systems where correctness, throughput, and operational clarity matter. I’m currently independent and open to senior backend, infrastructure, and SRE opportunities.
