About me
I am a full-stack software developer specializing in scalable backend systems, system architecture, and end-to-end product development.
Currently at Driven AVS, I develop B2B sim-racing applications and telemetry-based solutions, contributing to backend development, technical planning, and production delivery.
Previously at Pixa Software, I built e-commerce integrations for more than 50 marketplaces using Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, GraphQL, SQL, and REST APIs. My experience also includes high-volume telemetry processing, cloud infrastructure, web and mobile applications, and internal tools that solve operational business challenges.
