I like open source. As a programmer, I learnt and took a lot from Open Source domain. I contribute whenever I can.
Can I help you with more than 20 years of professional experience in IT?
Do you have an idea for a product? Additional features? Let's make it real. I can help to draft architecture, estimate costs, write code, and deploy the app. Problems with the existing platform? I can make it more stable/predictable/performant.
The most brilliant engineers and talented managers for your company I can not promise. But I can help to hire the right people for the job. I can make sure that teams have all the means for success. I can enable smooth teams growth.
Technical requirements are where it all begins. Solid requirements don't guarantee success, but unclear or low-quality requirements mean failure. I can pull requirements from the stakeholders, cross-check them, and create a prioritized backlog. I can work with teams, stakeholders, and product owners to create smooth requirements flow.
I don't believe in brilliant code — every line of code starts to smell sooner or later. I can ensure that the code does what is supposed to do and fits the budget. Legacy platform? Let me create a refactoring plan or migration strategy.
"It was working on my machine" is not something you want to hear. To launch a platform is one thing — to make deployments and releases stable, observable, and reproducible is another. Cloud or bare metal? How much will it cost? Do I need CI/CD? How to set up monitoring and alerting? I don't have all the answers — I only have most of them.
Improve SQL query performance. Lower the bill for database usage. Migrate databases. Choose the best database management system for given requirements and budget. Separate real-time OLTP and analytical OLAP workloads. Design database architecture. Write SQL and storage procedures. All of the above.
I don't have any preferences when it comes to technologies and programming languages. Whatever tool is suited best for the job.
Here are some technologies I work or used to work with.
