Hi,
I’m Sergey — hands-on Senior Software Engineer & former CTO who still loves writing code.
What you get
- Senior expertise at a starter rate. I’m brand-new to Upwork and charging less until I earn reviews, so you get top-tier skills without the boutique price tag.
- Clear, friendly communication. Frequent progress notes, fast replies, zero tech-speak unless you ask for it.
- Full ownership. I stay from first commit to final hand-off and keep helping until everything runs smoothly.
How I can help
- Back-end: Ruby / Rails, Python / FastAPI, Node.js (Express, Nest).
- Front-end: React, Next.js, Vue — from quick admin dashboards to full-blown SPAs.
- Data stores & performance: Design, build, or tune PostgreSQL, MySQL, Kafka, ClickHouse, Redis, MongoDB for serious scale.
- AI features: LLM fine-tuning, text summarisation, image & document analysis, time-series predictions - only when they add real value.

Companies hire me when their data is stuck in spreadsheets and their team is spending
10–25 hours a week on manual reporting that should be automated.
I build the infrastructure behind that shift: executive dashboards your team checks
daily, data automation pipelines that eliminate manual work, and AI-powered workflows
that handle the repetitive tasks eating into your team's time. My clients are SMBs in
e-commerce, healthcare, SaaS, and professional services.
────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT I BUILD
────────────────────────────────────────
Business Intelligence & Data Visualization
Custom dashboards in Power BI, Looker Studio, Metabase, and Tableau — connected to
your CRM, ERP, and financial systems. Designed around the decisions your leadership
actually needs to make, not just charts that look good in a demo. Self-hosted by
default — your data stays on your infrastructure, not a vendor's cloud.
Data Pipelines, ETL & Data Warehouse
ELT pipelines using Airbyte, dbt, and ClickHouse, BigQuery, or Snowflake — ingesting
data from Shopify, Stripe, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google
Analytics (GA4), and custom APIs. One recent engagement: fully automated a
multi-source data pull that was costing a client 25+ hours per week in manual effort.
Built with Python and SQL throughout.
AI-Powered Workflows & Automation
n8n and Windmill automations, model-agnostic AI agents (Ollama for private/local
deployments, GPT-4, Claude, Gemini where appropriate), and LLM-assisted workflows
for AP processing, anomaly detection, and automated reporting. If a task is
repetitive and rule-based, it can be automated — and I'll tell you honestly when
it can't.
────────────────────────────────────────
TRACK RECORD
────────────────────────────────────────
- Eliminated 25+ hours/week of manual data work for a multi-entity e-commerce brand
by automating API pulls from Shopify, Stripe, and NetSuite into a centralized
data warehouse using Python and SQL.
- Built driver-based forecasting models — sales, margin, headcount, inventory — now
used in monthly executive planning cycles across finance and operations.
- Deployed real-time KPI dashboards for clients across e-commerce, healthcare, legal,
and SaaS — all currently in active daily use.
- Reduced reporting cycle time by 12+ hours/week using automated reporting workflows
and LLM-assisted anomaly triage built in n8n.
- M.Sc. in Data Science — I understand the models behind the metrics, not just the
tooling on top.
────────────────────────────────────────
HOW I WORK
────────────────────────────────────────
Most of my engagements are ongoing retainers — I run and maintain the pipelines and
dashboards we build together, so you're not left holding infrastructure you don't
have the team to support. Every build comes with clean documentation and a Loom
walkthrough. You own everything, no black boxes.
────────────────────────────────────────
Send me a brief description of your current setup and what isn't working. I'll respond
with questions or a scoped proposal — typically within 24-48 hours.

Need AI integrated into a system that already works? I build production Claude/LLM backends — Tool Use, prompt caching, structured output, streaming — and the data pipelines they sit on top of. Python that ships on time, ships with tests, and runs in production, not scripts that break next week.
What I build with AI:
→ Claude/LLM integrations — Tool Use orchestration, prompt caching (51.8% hit rate measured in production, not estimated), structured output, SSE streaming, FastAPI endpoints. Production-grade scope enforcement and cost control.
→ AI features inside existing apps — added Claude-powered exception detection to a client's IFRS 9 accounting app without touching the frozen calculation engine. The hard part is not the API call, it is knowing what not to break.
→ Workflow automation — n8n integration (cron + REST dispatch + status polling), FastAPI inference services with automated retrain workflows, Telegram and Discord bots with persistent state and error recovery.
Recent work:
→ IFRS 9 loan accounting app in Streamlit — code hardening, UI conversion, and a Claude-powered exception detection feature. The client, a non-engineer, wrote: "Excellent at explaining technical work in plain language, even without a technical background." 5.0 stars.
→ Bitfinex P2P lending bot in production — multi-key architecture, watchdog with automatic recovery, 138+ hours across deployment, debugging, and daily monitoring. Running unattended.
→ SEC EDGAR 10-K parser for Business Development Companies — 103 companies, $1,324,753K reconciled to the audited Total Investments line, 58/58 tests passing, Docker.
Also:
→ Quant & trading systems — signal generation, multi-timeframe funnels (ADX, EMA, Bollinger, ATR-based sizing), backtesting with look-ahead detection, exchange APIs (Binance, Bitfinex, Deribit), ClickHouse and SQLite tick storage.
→ Financial data engineering — SEC EDGAR filings, multi-source ETL across financial APIs, Pandas + PostgreSQL pipelines, idempotent ingestion with deduplication and audit logging.
→ ML & classification pipelines — fastText, scikit-learn, PyTorch feature extraction, confidence calibration.
How I work: every project Dockerized, deployed on DigitalOcean (or your cloud), version-controlled, tested, documented. I check my own work before you have to — on one research project I found a look-ahead bias in my own backtest and reported it rather than shipping the number. I respond within hours, ask scoping questions before quoting, and ship on time. If something breaks after delivery, I fix it.
Bilingual EN/中文 native, Taiwan-based. Available 30+ hours per week. Comfortable with US morning hours.

I architect, scale, and rescue high-load Python backend systems.
As an Expert-Vetted Python Architect (Top 1%), I partner with engineering teams to resolve deep performance bottlenecks in applications that have outgrown their initial architecture.
With a decade of engineering experience, my work focuses on structural solutions rather than patching symptoms. I build scalable backends capable of handling severe traffic spikes, supported by rigorous database tuning and event-driven design.
ENGINEERING FOCUS
- High-Load Backend Architecture
I design async-first FastAPI and Django services built for scale. I implement horizontal scaling, robust caching layers (Redis), and reliable message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Celery) to ensure system stability under unpredictable loads.
- PostgreSQL Performance & DBA
I specialize in advanced database optimization. When standard indexing is no longer sufficient, I implement table partitioning, logical replication, PgBouncer connection pooling, and complex query refactoring. My priority is redesigning data access patterns and eliminating N+1 anomalies at the ORM layer.
- System Refactoring & Technical Debt
I regularly audit struggling backends. I provide comprehensive profiling for memory leaks, slow queries, and I/O bottlenecks. I execute phased refactoring without halting production, delivering fully tested, documented code integrated into your CI/CD pipelines.
• Production-Grade AI Integration
Integrating OpenAI/Anthropic APIs into backend workflows. I build fault-tolerant RAG pipelines using pgvector, ensuring strict rate-limiting, cost-monitoring per token, and fallback mechanisms for predictable enterprise use.
RECENT INFRASTRUCTURE WINS
- Resolved critical database lockups in a monolithic Django app by implementing PgBouncer connection pooling and refactoring ORM queries, reducing required compute infrastructure by over 40%;
- Redesigned data access patterns on a 2.5B+ row PostgreSQL table via declarative partitioning and materialized views, dropping complex analytical query latency from ~35s to under 250ms;
- Migrated a high-traffic synchronous Django API to async FastAPI, reducing average response times by 70% with zero downtime.
Due to the nature of enterprise work, client names are strictly confidential. I am happy to discuss specific architectural patterns and system designs during an interview.
Tech Stack: Python, FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Celery, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP.
I am currently accepting select engineering projects. Let's schedule a technical sync to discuss your current architectural bottlenecks.

Most backend issues in production systems are not caused by technology - they come from early architecture decisions, fragile integrations, or systems that were never designed to scale.
I help startups and product teams design and build reliable backend systems that hold up in production, not just prototypes that work in demos.
Over the past 4+ years, I’ve worked on backend systems powering real products - designing APIs, data architectures, and event-driven systems using Node.js and Go.
