Python Backend Developer, 6+ years experience
📍 UTC+4 (Tbilisi, Georgia)

I am a Python Backend Developer with 6+ years of commercial experience building distributed services and improving production performance. I have worked across fintech and edtech domains. Over the years I've gained experience across a wide range of domains and technologies:

• I have hands-on experience working with both high-load and moderate-scale systems, monolithic and microservices architectures, and have integrated LLM solutions into production products.
• On the database side, I have deep expertise with PostgreSQL, including query optimization and schema design. I've also worked with Redis for caching, ClickHouse for analytical workloads, OpenSearch for log storage and vector search, MongoDB for document-oriented data, and Greenplum for large-scale data warehousing.
• On the APIs side, I'm proficient in designing and implementing REST, gRPC, GraphQL, and WebSocket interfaces, with a focus on clean contracts and performance.
• For messaging and event streaming, I have practical experience with Kafka and RabbitMQ — building event-driven systems, handling asynchronous communication between services, and ensuring reliable data streaming.
• On the infrastructure side, I'm comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift for containerization and orchestration, and use Helm for managing deployments.
• Finally, for logging and observability, I have hands-on experience with the ELK stack and OpenSearch combined with Grafana for centralized logging, and Jaeger for distributed tracing.
