About

Professional summary

I am a Python software engineer with over 3 years of experience, primarily focused on backend development using Django and FastAPI. Throughout my career, I have been responsible for the backend development, maintenance, and optimization of multiple projects, ensuring high performance and reliability. I have developed monolithic systems using Django and Django REST Framework, as well as microservice architectures leveraging FastAPI and Starlette.

My experience includes implementing new business logic, performing large-scale code refactoring, and developing and maintaining JSON and SOAP API integrations with various third-party and internal services such as billing, acquiring, government services, and electronic signature services. I have optimized slow SQL queries, reports, and API endpoints, significantly improving system performance.

I am skilled in updating CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and Bitbucket Pipelines, estimating labor costs, planning, and decomposing tasks within agile sprints. I have also conducted onboarding and mentoring sessions for new developers, helping them integrate smoothly into the team.

Additionally, I have configured and refined monitoring and alerting systems to ensure service stability and fault tolerance. I have documented service architectures and decomposed features to simplify and accelerate development. My work includes configuring nginx, docker-compose, and optimizing application server resources.

I have actively participated in refactoring and technical recovery of legacy code and developed several Telegram bots with integrated payments, reporting, and user accounts. By optimizing queries, analyzing business processes, and implementing monitoring, I have increased the speed of individual services by up to 15 times.

I am proficient in Russian (native) and English (proficient), and I continuously strive to improve my skills and contribute effectively to backend engineering projects.
