Backend infrastructure & distributed systems

I have 10 years of experience designing and maintaining backend architectures. I specialize in implementing scalable, secure, and high-performance solutions, working with a range of frameworks from serverless and microservices to traditional monolithic systems. I have managed both on-premise and cloud-based environments on Unix and Windows, and I am proficient in TypeScript, Python, C#, and Java.
