I build software that works — from low-level C++ systems to cloud-native SaaS platforms to full-stack web applications. With 20+ years spanning system programming, solution architecture, DevOps, and full-stack development, I bring senior-level judgment to every layer of a project. My edge is rare: I think at the architecture level and write production code. Having worn the hats of Product Owner and CTO earlier in my career, I bring business and product thinking to every technical decision — without losing sight of the code.
What I do for clients:
Whether you need an architect to design or audit a system, a full-stack developer to ship something end-to-end, or a senior pair of eyes on your codebase — I can own it. I also take on code and architecture review engagements: auditing codebases, identifying risks, and delivering actionable improvement plans. I work solo or integrate with your team.
Selected projects:
- D-ID — co-developed and continue to support the D-ID Studio mobile app (React Native) and built plugins for Microsoft PowerPoint and Canva, bringing D-ID's AI video generation into the tools people already use
- AI integrations — integrated OpenAI, Gemini, and AWS Bedrock APIs into client products
- License plate recognition system — inherited a C++ prototype built on custom ML models and took it to production: audited the codebase, produced a detailed remediation plan, and executed it. Client feedback: "one of the absolute best freelancers I've worked with in years"
- Bitlevex — sole architect and full-stack developer for a cryptocurrency options trading platform; owned the entire technical stack from architecture to deployment on Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Java/Spring Boot, Node.js, React.js
- Veset Nimbus — cloud playout SaaS for linear TV channels; led architecture and development, acted as Scrum Product Owner; hands-on C++ work using GStreamer
What clients say:
"Vlad was a C++ ninja that jumped right into our project, laid out a detailed, thoughtful, well-reasoned list of items that needed to be re-worked before release, and then executed in a methodical and deliberate way. His code is well-documented, well tested, and a thing of beauty. Vlad is truly a senior developer that would be a tremendous asset to any team."
"Vlad brings honest, unbiased opinions about your codebase and sensible, well-reasoned solutions to improve it. His contributions are always based on industry best-practices. What's more, he brings his vast management experience to every decision — so there's a comprehensive understanding of the implications of each choice. A trusted guide and partner."
Core stack:
C++ · Java (Spring Boot) · TypeScript · Node.js · React.js · Python · AWS (incl. Bedrock & serverless) · Google Cloud · Kubernetes · Docker · WebSockets · OpenAI API · Gemini API
I hold Upwork's Expert-Vetted badge — awarded to the top 1% of talent on the platform.

I build AI agents that automate outreach, response handling, and internal workflows. 12 years of backend engineering (Python, Rust) + production AI agent systems. 100% Job Success Score on 12+ contracts.
Real numbers from real projects:
• Crawled 700M+ domains in a single distributed pipeline (DNS, WHOIS,
screenshots, tech-stack fingerprinting, email extraction) — 43 TB of data
across 12 servers
• Scraped the 3 largest UK real-estate directories into a 4.3 TB schema:
listings, image archives, historical sales
• Cut a Django hot-path endpoint from 15.5 s → 19 ms (~815× faster)
• Drove cost-per-GB on a B2B mobile-proxy product down by 20×
• Currently shipping ~90 merged MRs at a Series-A SaaS — Django + Rust (PyO3)
+ Kubernetes + Triton ML serving
What I deliver:
▸ Full source code and instructions to run the code. Upkeep, hosting, maintenance (or instructions on them).
▸ Backend & APIs — Django, DRF, FastAPI, Flask, Celery. REST APIs that power
dashboards, mobile apps, or internal tools. Postgres, MongoDB, Redis,
ClickHouse.
▸ Performance & rescue work — optimized endpoints, fast Celery queues, SQL speedup and more.. I eliminate the bottleneck before it appears.
▸ Full-stack when needed — Vue.js, React, TypeScript on top of the APIs
I build. Stripe integrations, OAuth, webhooks.

✅ Why clients like me? (no idea)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• 100% Job Success across every contract — no walk-aways, no drama
• Long-term clients (multi-year engagements, not one-shot gigs)
• I write a plan before I write code, and I tell you when something is a
bad idea — even when you're paying me to do it
• Async, reliable communication. I deliver in writing, not in vibes.
What I won't do: spam, ad fraud, DDoS, scraping with intent to violate ToS
where it actually matters, or anything that puts your business at legal risk.
Web scraping is legal when done right — I do it right.
If you've got a backend that's buckling, a scraper that broke last week, or
a data-extraction project nobody else wants to take on — send the details
and I'll tell you straight whether I'm the right fit.

- Application development [backend, CI/CD, pipelines, complex builds, delivery, Qt, PyQt]
- Architecture design [AWS, GCP, API's, custom authentication, cloud-native]
- Optimisation [multi-threaded software, CUDA, inference optimisation ]
These skills were developed when I had to tackle various challenges, including:
- Packaging PyInstaller executables as a part of application with code protection with delivery to end-users for macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms (expert)
- Developing and delivering dockerized C++ high performance computer vision inference applications with deployment in Kubernetes and on various AWS resources with target precision of 99.99%+ accuracy and 99.99%+ uptime in high-risk environments (expert)
- Training and specialising various flavours of computer-vision models on vast datasets of up-to 1 million images
- Developing and deploying custom stripe backend integrations handling custom authentication and one-click checkout system for digital assets (intermediate)
- Developing and delivering a multiplatform audio player solution in low-level C++ utilising adaptive audio file streaming decoding, handling all known audio formats and optimising load-to-playback time to less than 10 msec for any type of compressed file (intermediate)

I write code that is understandable, extensible, and reliable. In my free time I enjoy racing, horse-riding and playing musical instruments.
If your project does not exactly match my skillset, I will happily accept a lower rate if you still consider me. By being a quick learner and a reliable person with strict work ethics and strong knowledge base, I have delivered many projects where I had to learn along the way.
Freelancing gives me a chance to be exposed to many different projects, current technologies and worldwide clients, with many different ideas and expectations. This helps me grow as a developer and as a professional. I enjoy working with different people, helping them to bring their ideas to life.
