Description

Senior full-stack and DevOps engineer with 4+ years of commercial experience, currently working at Swedbank.

At Swedbank I spent over three years as a software engineer in the Baltic Lending area, building and maintaining backend services in Java along with frontend solutions, Jenkins pipelines and databases. I now work in a DevOps role, operating secure, scalable banking infrastructure across Linux servers with Ansible, GitHub Actions and CI/CD automation.

Alongside my work, I founded and single-handedly built esimystic.com - a production eSIM e-commerce platform serving 190+ countries. It runs on Next.js and Cloudflare Workers at the edge, with 40,000+ pages, multi-currency Stripe payments, 10-language i18n, and full technical SEO and structured data. I handle everything: code, infrastructure, payments and performance.

This combination - enterprise banking experience plus running my own product end to end - means I can take a project from idea to production and operate it reliably.

I work with:

- Backend: Java, Node.js, SQL databases

- Frontend / Full-stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript

- DevOps: Linux, Ansible, GitHub Actions, CI/CD, Cloudflare

- Integrations: Stripe payments, REST APIs, AI API integration (OpenAI / Anthropic)

I'm based in Estonia (EU time zone) and work fully remotely, with full overlap with European clients. I'm looking for long-term collaborations where I can own meaningful technical work and take projects from idea to production.

Designing and operating reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure for banking services. I focused on CI/CD automation, building and maintaining pipelines that enabled fast, consistent, and safe software delivery while reducing manual effort and deployment risk. I worked extensively with cloud platforms to provision and manage infrastructure, optimizing for scalability, cost-efficiency, and high availability. A core part of my role was ensuring system reliability through monitoring, alerting, and proactive incident response, keeping critical banking services running smoothly. I collaborated closely with development teams to streamline workflows, embed security best practices early in the delivery cycle, and ensure infrastructure met the strict compliance and resilience standards required in the financial sector.
