About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with more than six years of commercial experience building B2B and SaaS products from data modeling through production deployment. My core stack is React, Next.js, Node.js/NestJS, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL.

I design scalable multi-tenant systems, modular monoliths, event-driven APIs, background-worker architectures, and monorepos. I am experienced in building secure, production-grade applications with tenant isolation, OIDC authentication, GDPR-aware logging, and CI quality gates.

I have delivered more than 20 web applications for B2B clients and actively develop SaaS platforms in domains including German e-invoicing, healthcare, HR technology, travel, booking, and website builders. My work includes integrations with Stripe, Google Calendar, AWS services, external APIs, and AI platforms.

I lead teams and remain highly hands-on in coding. I have led teams of up to 10 developers, established coding guidelines, conducted reviews, made architecture decisions, and coordinated work between product stakeholders and sprint teams.

I use AI-assisted development daily with Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot, while maintaining engineering quality through automated testing, reviews, and CI gates. I have practical experience integrating LLMs, RAG, vector search, OCR, and privacy-preserving PII redaction into products.

I am based in Altena, Germany, and work remotely. I communicate professionally in English and German and am a native Ukrainian speaker.
