About Mikhail
I design, build and optimize distributed backend systems. 15+ years with Java, Spring, AWS and cloud native microservices - at the architecture level.
What I’ve delivered:
- ML-based cost forecasting service, 95% accuracy (Apache Spark, Spring Batch, AWS)
- 60% cloud cost reduction through profiling and architecture redesign
- Distributed testing platform running thousands of regression tests across iOS, Android, Apple TV, PS, Roku, Chrome - with monitoring, reporting, and automated recovery
- Event-driven architectures, microservices migrations, DevOps pipelines
- Real-time AI pipeline: TensorRT-compiled Whisper ASR model, cloud LLM with sub-second retrieval, custom prompt engineering - optimized for consumer hardware
Performance engineering:
I profile and instrument everything I build - Java, Python, JavaScript. I measure I/O and latency at every layer. Performance is how I think, not an afterthought.
AI/ML:
LLM inference optimization: TensorRT, Triton, open-weight model deployment, Whisper ASR, semantic search, RAG, prompt engineering. Focused on latency-critical real-time applications where every millisecond counts. Graph database experience (Neo4j) for large-scale transaction analysis.
Available 2 days/week. Flexible for calls during CET business hours. Working language: English.
Services: architecture reviews, code audits, performance optimization, system design, LLM integration, cloud cost reduction.
