Backend engineer fluent in Python and Go.​
I build and scale high‑load systems—squeezing 1.5kk + req/s through REST / gRPC APIs, hardening
them with OAuth2, PCI‑grade payments, and blockchain oracles, and shipping via Docker‑K8s CI/CD

My migrations and tuning cut outages 30% and response times 25%, turning complex EdTech, SaaS,
and Web3 ideas into reliable, revenue‑driving products.
