Profile

I build reliable server-side foundations

About me

I’m a developer from Belgorod, now living and studying in Saint Petersburg. I started programming in my teens and have steadily focused on web development.

Work

I design backend systems, databases, and APIs. At ITMO, I’m responsible for a data canonicalisation service within a microservice platform for scientific publication data.

Beyond code

I play guitar, occasionally perform at local concerts, and enjoy mind sports.

  2. ITMO University, Saint Petersburg

    Current

    Lab Assistant / Backend Developer

    I began with database and backend work for a library framework analysing scientific publications. In January 2026, it joined adjacent teams as a microservice platform for collecting, processing, and validating data; I own the canonicalisation service.

Practice

Selected projects

Cases focused on the problem, my contribution, and engineering outcomes rather than repeating the career timeline.

Research engineering

Scientific data platform

Bring collection, processing, and validation of scientific publication data into one system.

Designed the data and backend for the initial library framework; after the teams merged, I took ownership of the data canonicalisation microservice.

The project evolved from a standalone library into a shared microservice platform used by adjacent teams.

  • Canonicalisation service
  • Python
  • Data design
  • Scientific publications

Commercial project

Lkey online store backend

Server-side catalogue and customer journeys for a lighting store.

Application architecture, REST API, PostgreSQL model, and Redis cache.

A monolithic backend system was designed and implemented from scratch for the live store website.
