Senior backend/search engineer (18 years of experience). I worked in corporations, local product companies, and as a founder/sole engineer of my own SaaS startup (a monitoring tool / Heroku addon). For the last 8 years I've worked remotely for a US influencer marketing company.
My main strength is creating custom backend components when off-the-shelf solutions (SaaS, cloud) don't fit the problem well. I've created custom search engines, NERs and task dispatchers that became core parts of the products and brought large value.
I'm quite good at working at the intersection of product development and software engineering - I can propose new products (knowing what's possible in the backend) and work with the product owners.
I'm open to both full-time and part-time work, including short-term and long-term contracts.
