Back-end Engineer Located in Valencia, Spain 🇪🇸 From Mariupol, Ukraine 🇺🇦
Hey! I’m a backend engineer with 6+ years of experience building fast, reliable, and scalable systems. I work mostly with Node.js, TypeScript, and NestJS, and love designing clean APIs and solid backend architecture that actually makes a difference for the product and the team.
I’ve worked across a range of projects — from startups to more mature systems — and I’m usually the one who not only builds the backend but also builds architecture and takes care of the CI/CD, cloud infrastructure (mostly AWS), and anything needed to keep things running smoothly.
What I’m into:
- Backend stuff: APIs, system design, performance tuning
- Databases & caching: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
- Cloud & DevOps: Docker, GitHub Actions, AWS, GCP
- Automation & AI: Always exploring smarter ways to build and ship
Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into AI and automation - building side projects, experimenting with tools like LLMs, and learning how to bring more intelligence into backend workflows. It’s a space I’m really excited about, and I’m always looking for new things to try or learn.
Outside of code, I enjoy working on passion projects, connecting with other builders, and finding ways to solve real problems with simple, elegant solutions.
