About

With over 15 years' experience in software development, I convert needs into robust, reliable solutions. I apply software development best practices — TDD, DDD, coherent architecture choices (modular monolith or microservices), and cloud technologies.

I use Scrum and NoEstimate methods for rapid implementation and feedback loops. I bring DevOps expertise (Kubernetes, GitOps, AWS, Azure, CI/CD) to ensure applications behave predictably in production.

I also focus on AI industrialization and smart use of AI tools (Claude Code, ChatGPT) for augmented coding workflows.
