With over 8 years of experience in the IT industry and software engineering, I have held various roles, starting as a Database Engineer working on ERP systems and later transitioning to a Java/Kotlin Developer position in telecom projects. In recent years, I have taken on the role of Team Lead for a Full Stack team and served as one of the engineering leads for the domain, providing product, technical, and organizational guidance to multiple teams.In recent years, I have primarily specialized in backend development using Kotlin, occasionally Java, and in designing solutions for services in these languages. I’ve worked with both monoliths and microservices, used message queues, and designed REST APIs. I’ve also been involved in various DevOps initiatives and worked with cloud technologies. Throughout my work, I aim to follow several key principles:- Use business language and models in code – it makes future changes easier.- Understand the real logic instead of rushing through tasks – this ensures sustainable code.- First deliver, then polish – people may argue over code style, but discussions can happen once the product is in production.Following these principles allows me to stay in control of the project, maintain a good relationship with the product side, and enjoy the job without stressing over unexpected issues. This approach has helped my teams and me deliver multiple projects from scratch. Even under the intense pressure of MVP phases, I was able to maintain strong relationships with my colleagues from the team and product development, even after our work together ended.I have mainly worked in the B2B sector of telecom (CPaaS, RCS MaaP) and have gained in-depth knowledge of network operators. However, I’m also interested in economics and have some knowledge of finance. I’m regularly involved in improving the developer experience and truly enjoy working on IT infrastructure projects.In leadership roles, I’ve mentored team members (up to senior level), and I’m proud that they have grown into senior positions within the company or elsewhere.Looking forward to connecting, exchanging experiences, and learning about exciting opportunities.
