PROFILE
Full-stack engineer with 4+ years across frontend, backend, and architecture. Co-founded a product where I built
the entire distributed backend from scratch — video processing pipeline, worker orchestration, concurrency
handling. Shipped full applications solo from database to deployment. Technology-agnostic: I pick what fits the
problem.

EXPERIENCE

Co-Founder & Lead Engineer — Automation & Video Processing Platform (NDA) 2025
Social media automation and distributed video processing platform. Co-founded with 20% equity stake.
Content Automation Platform:
• Productivity Multiplier: 20x workforce efficiency gain — single operator managing 50 accounts vs. previous
1:1 ratio
• Cost Optimization: Eliminated hundreds of monthly manual work hours through intelligent automation
• Autonomous Operations: 24/7 unattended execution with 95% reduction in manual intervention
Video Processing & Distribution Platform:
• Distributed Systems: Architected video processing pipeline coordinating 50+ concurrent workers across
multiple machines with centralized scheduling and health checks
• Media Engineering: Built FFmpeg pipeline generating multiple video variations with 15+ uniqueization
techniques including color grading presets, camera filter emulation, and dynamic framing
• Concurrency Handling: Designed media locking system with timeout-based expiration for race-condition-free
resource allocation across distributed workers
• High-Concurrency APIs: Transaction-synchronized endpoints preventing read-after-write consistency issues
in distributed environments
• AI Integration: Integrated Grok API with Redis queue system for optimized message throughput and
intelligent content personalization
Tech: Django, PostgreSQL, FFmpeg, TypeScript, Node.js, Playwright, Redis, Ansible

Full-Stack Engineer — 4goo (Social Network Platform) 2025 — Present
Social platform startup, 30+ person team. Remote.
• Contributed to migration of legacy PHP services to Go, improving performance and maintainability
• Designed infrastructure architecture proposals using AWS Lambda and alternative service patterns; presented
tradeoff analyses to CTO
• Implemented CI/CD pipeline that auto-generates and publishes API types from OpenAPI specs — any change
to openapi.yaml or new service automatically triggers type generation across the codebase
• Built chunked file upload system with Web Worker background processing for post creation. Implemented
pause/resume and abort functionality with IndexedDB persistence, enabling uploads to survive page refreshes
and network interruptions. Designed upload UI with progress states, error handling with retry/cancel, and
confirmation modals
• Authored infrastructure decision documents that drive architectural direction for the engineering team

Solo Engineer — EcoProof Laboratories 2024
Live: ecoproof.com.ua
• Solo-built full-stack environmental auditing platform: Next.js frontend, CRM dashboard, multi-step
questionnaire, request tracking, i18n (UA/EN)
 • End-to-end ownership: frontend, backend, database design, deployment — no team, no designer, every
decision independently made

Frontend Developer — Hivex (Multiple Client Projects) Aug 2023 — Apr 2025
Outstaffing agency. Multiple client projects. Remote.
• Improved Lighthouse performance scores on desktop and mobile, directly enhancing page load times and
user experience across all devices
• Architected SSR application with clear client/server logic separation and WebSocket integration for real-time
interactions, improving performance and scalability
• Led legacy codebase refactoring — introduced modern component architecture that accelerated development
velocity for new feature implementation
• Integrated real-time video/audio communication using GetStream.io for seamless calling experience
• Mentored React engineers transitioning to Vue.js ecosystem, facilitating cross-stack knowledge sharing
Tech: Vue.js, Nuxt.js, React, Pinia, TypeScript, WebSocket, GetStream, Tailwind CSS

UI Developer — World of Defish (NFT Game, Binance Smart Chain) Oct 2021 — Oct 2022
Decentralized NFT game on BSC. Odessa.
• Developed and maintained marketing web applications, admin panel interface, and game UI using Vue.js,
Vuetify, Nuxt.js
• Implemented complex 2D graphics and animations using PixiJS, Anime.js, and Lottie
• Built automated NFT minting and distribution pipeline — parsed Excel files from third-party marketplaces
(wallet addresses, quantities, item names), then triggered smart contract calls to mint and distribute NFTs to
buyers in bulk, replacing manual processing
• Created interactive SVG card editor for NFT creation and Excel-to-NFT parser automating game object
generation
• Implemented dynamic token reward algorithm on backend and blockchain — multi-variable computation
factoring zone multipliers (adjusted by real-time user density), item rarity/level modifiers, and farming location,
directly impacting game economy and token emission balance
• Contributed to backend services (Node.js, MongoDB) — API development, test coverage, microservices
maintenance

Frontend Developer — Shuttle Software Apr 2021 — Oct 2021
Remote.
• Implemented web application flows with interactive animations (Anime.js) within Nuxt.js SSR framework
