Head of Backend Development at Investotech · Fintech and trading systems · Cyprus
I lead backend engineering and stay hands-on with Go, Python and AWS. My work covers architecture, delivery and production reliability for broker operations, payments, CRM, reporting and data services.
I have more than 15 years of software development experience. I help teams understand the full system, make clear technical decisions and build software they can maintain.
- Backend architecture: APIs, service boundaries, database design and integrations, including MT4/MT5.
- Reliability and performance: finding bottlenecks, understanding failures, improving monitoring and making releases safer.
- Data engineering: ETL, data pipelines and reporting systems.
- Engineering leadership: code reviews, technical standards, mentoring and shared ownership.
| Project | What it explores |
|---|---|
| GoPulse | Instrumenting Go goroutines and channels, with trace analysis and a web UI. |
| go-requests | Archived Go HTTP client project showing a builder API, request configuration and usage examples. |
| Tokio Task Scheduler | Asynchronous task scheduling in Rust using Tokio. |
These are personal projects. Check each repository for its current status, requirements and limitations before using it. Much of my professional work is in private repositories.
Main stack: Go, Python, AWS, PostgreSQL, Docker and Kubernetes.
I also work with Rust, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS and Elasticsearch. I run a personal k3s cluster and use GitOps to manage it.
