Principal Engineer / Software Architect

Owned architecture work for reliability-critical banking platform areas, combining platform strategy, solution design, and delivery support. Researched multitenancy risks and designed mitigation approaches for safer shared-platform operation, implementing Zero Trust Architecture. Supported customer architectural onboarding, improved platform penetration and retention, analyzed capacity and platform utilization, improved hardware sizing/utilization by 10-50%, introduced Chaos Engineering practices, defined observability standards using Grafana, produced and reviewed architecture artifacts, mentored architects and senior engineers, and supported IT4IT-compliant system design for platform billing automation and FinOps.

Worked as an architect in a VTB banking context, supporting architecture decisions for enterprise delivery. Helped shape solution design across business, integration, and technology constraints. Applied architecture documentation, review, and stakeholder communication practices in a regulated banking environment.

Delivered customer-facing architecture work in an English-speaking environment. Supported architecture discovery, solution design, and communication with engineering and customer stakeholders. Applied distributed-systems, enterprise integration, and delivery architecture experience to client contexts.

Led architecture direction for large enterprise platform work in a banking technology environment. Designed event-driven document-processing improvements that reduced delays to milliseconds while preserving throughput. Supported architecture governance, modernization planning, delivery alignment, and engineering team coordination.

Drove modernization of legacy C++/CORBA platform areas toward a Java EE ecosystem. Supported modularization and continuous delivery across 300+ heterogeneous components and 2M+ lines of code. Helped scale engineering change across 40+ developers in 6 teams and worked across architecture, principal engineering, platform decomposition, and delivery enablement.

Designed and developed backend systems for file and order processing for factory production on demand, including netprint.ru and affiliates. Covered full SDLC: high-load optimization, vulnerability analysis, complex use-case analysis, design drafts, and datacenter hardware evolution planning. Built a customizable clustered petabyte-scale data processing system with 200M+ in-house files, designed a commodity-server-node architecture comparable to GFS/Hadoop-style distributed storage/processing systems, and built a distributed private-cloud architecture using JBoss Clustering, JMS/AMQP messaging, and REST services.
