About

As a founding engineer at Artera, a cutting edge art-tech platform, I architected, deployed and maintained scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS, optimized for high availability and cost efficiency. I possess deep practical experience in Python, SQL and NoSQL databases, event-driven architectures, ETL pipelines and REST APIs.

In addition to my Data Engineering and Backend development skills I led the development of key AI-powered features at Artera, including the Recommender System, 'Image Capture', 'AI-tagging' and more!

Sometimes I create Telegram or Discord bots for fun, contact me if you need some help, I'm sure we can build something cool together! 🤗
