Meet Serhii ✨

A Back-End Developer with 3.5 years of experience building scalable Python-based systems across AI, blockchain security, government services, and EdTech domains. Serhii brings solid grounding in software engineering principles, OOP, design patterns, numerical methods, and database management, combined with hands-on expertise in FastAPI, Django, and AWS cloud infrastructure.

He has delivered production backend systems across four distinct domains. His projects include an AI assistant startup that answers company-specific questions from client websites and document pools, built with FastAPI and Pinecone on AWS with full CI/CD and solution architecture; a blockchain AI security platform using ML algorithms to detect scammers and attacks in real time, featuring ETL pipelines, Neo4j graph databases, and infrastructure-as-code; multiple government and commercial projects at an outsourcing company including a national employment platform and profession catalog with Elasticsearch integration and multilingual support; and an employee knowledge assessment SaaS for corporate knowledge testing with SQLAlchemy integration and AWS deployment.

Serhii works confidently with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Neo4j, Celery, Docker, AWS (EC2, ECS, ECR, S3, RDS, CloudWatch), and CI/CD via GitHub Actions. He holds AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Foundational certification and Python Basic and Advanced certifications from Hillel IT School. His reliability, persistence, and attention to detail make him a strong fit for backend teams that value clean, well-tested, production-ready code.

If you need a backend developer who builds solid Python systems, works confidently with cloud infrastructure, and delivers from architecture through to deployment, Serhii is ready to contribute 🚀
