About
Professional summaryI am a Senior Backend Engineer with more than 10 years of experience building scalable distributed systems, event-driven architectures, ETL workflows, and data pipelines using Go and Python.
I specialize in high-load backend platforms, microservices, API development, and data infrastructure. My work includes such production projects as a clickstream platform processing 600 RPS at 30 ms p95 latency and an A/B testing distribution service handling 2,000 RPS at 40 ms p95.
I have strong experience in AI and LLM systems, including multimodal copilots, RAG, LLM agents, evaluation harnesses, MLOps, and prompt engineering. I launched a multimodal copilot platform that increased revenue by 15–20% across selected user cohorts.
I work extensively with cloud infrastructure, containers, observability, databases, and streaming systems. My technical background includes AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and OpenTelemetry.
I value clean architecture, test-driven development, SOLID principles, and effective engineering practices. I have also created reusable service templates, strengthened code review workflows, and supported multiple engineering teams.
I am based in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and am open to relocating for Senior or Staff Engineer opportunities in the US, EU, or Australia.
