07.2022 - Current

I worked on a high-load project in the betting industry: a sports betting platform. I have experience in designing and implementing APIs, and working within a microservice architecture, refactoring legacy code using new libraries. My responsibilities included developing and maintaining key system modules, such as event management, odds calculation, bet processing, and integrations with external data providers.

I have worked with the following technologies:

  • Scala (Cats, ZIO, Akka, Tapir), Java (8+, Spring, Hibernate, JUnit)
  • Maven, SBT
  • PostgreSQL, Couchbase, Elasticsearch
  • Kafka (commercial experience; also wrote my thesis).
  • Docker (raised containers; worked with CLI), Kubernetes (tracked performance; service monitoring), Git, and CI/CD (worked with Jenkins).

Also, I practiced training interns (help with entering the project, preparation of presentations on various topics, and help with completing tickets).
