Selected work
Four projects that took more than a quarter and taught me something. Focused on distributed systems, pipeline throughput, and reliable architecture.
Flickify ↗
2020 — 2026PROBLEM Turning an article into a watchable video was a manual editing job measured in hours, which meant publishers simply did not do it.
APPROACH A Go pipeline that parses the page, scripts it, assembles scenes and renders through FFmpeg on a queue-backed farm on AWS, with a Vue editor over the top for anyone who wants the last word.
e-Freight declaration platform
2013 — 2019PROBLEM Air cargo paperwork moved on paper between airlines, warehouses and the federal customs service — every handoff a place to lose a day.
APPROACH A PHP/PostgreSQL platform speaking IATA CIMP, SITA, ARINC and EDIFly Type B, with qualified digital signatures and direct integration into the customs IT system.
Publisher platform services
2019 — 2026PROBLEM Ad and content experiments needed backends that stayed up under sustained high-traffic spikes without degraded response times.
APPROACH Go and PHP microservices with Vue front ends, built around measurable request budgets and backpressure rather than optimistic caching.
Advert management system
2012PROBLEM Campaign managers were repricing hundreds of ads by hand across dozens of sites according to shifting inventory margins.
APPROACH A rules engine over the Yandex.Direct API that applied a manager's pricing intent automatically and published one advert to many sites.
