Core Expertise
Tech Leadership
Lead teams of 3–6: architecture, regular code review, technical decisions. Phased legacy migration without stopping new features. Solutions ship as working software — a short path from idea to production, with time-to-market as a real constraint.
Backend & Web Products
Ship web products end-to-end with a backend focus: PHP (Laravel, Yii2, Slim, Phalcon, Swoole), production JavaScript, and REST APIs. Own features from data model and server logic through APIs and the front-end pieces the product needs — architecture, tests, and clear module boundaries.
Systems Integration
Production integrations at scale: ~100 external connectors for a no-code service, two-way exchange with 1C — directories, documents, business processes — and marketplace APIs (Ozon, Wildberries). Queues, retries, and backoff so a partner outage does not take the product down.
AI Engineering & Multi-Agent Systems
Designing AI-native SDLC workflows: multi-agent pipelines with role separation, RAG, context orchestration, and LLM output validation. Drove AI tool adoption across a dev team; building an autonomous agent pipeline from task to merge request.
Database Management
SQL and NoSQL in production: query tuning, schema design, and modeling under load. Migrations and replication in live systems; Redis for caching and Elasticsearch or ClickHouse when search and analytics outgrow a single OLTP database.
Linux Administration
Linux administration on whatever the server runs — not tied to one distribution. Bare metal and VMs (KVM, Proxmox, QEMU), networking, hardening, and performance. Ansible for automation; Docker and K8s when the workload calls for it.
Featured Projects
SDLC Agent Pipeline
End-to-end multi-agent autonomous development pipeline (alpha): Decomposer → Analyzer → Planner → Coder → Reviewer → Architect roles. AST-based semantic search with Tree-sitter, strict validation via Pydantic + Instructor, and task isolation in containers through RabbitMQ. Full cycle from prompt to merge request. Closed source; repository not public.
mpcab.ru
SaaS for Ozon and Wildberries sellers: per-product profit analysis with taxes, sales dashboard, multi-model AI assistant, Ozon API sync via queues with retries. Built solo end to end; paid beta with first paying customers.
JobXray
Open-source browser extension that surfaces hidden response counters on hh.ru (queue, responses per day, vacancy bump signals). Chromium and Firefox.
PDOdb
Framework-agnostic PHP database library with unified API for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MSSQL, and Oracle. Query Builder, caching, sharding, window functions, CTEs, JSON, migrations, ActiveRecord, CLI tools, AI-powered analysis. Zero external dependencies.
Chain
Three PHP 8.5 utilities: a fluent Chain object wrapper with map/pipe, branching and rescue/retry; reusable Flow plans with PSR-11; concurrent HTTP Batch using cURL multi, retries and streamed downloads.
Struct
Type-safe PHP 8.1+ DTOs with attribute-based validation. Readonly fields, strict type checks, JSON and array conversion, input and output aliases, custom validators, and explicit list/map policies. No external runtime dependencies.
Notes
-
Cloud coding agent: roles, context and execution control
Designing a cloud coding agent: roles, tools, live injection, orchestration prompts, deterministic checks and loop control.
-
PHP application architecture: add complexity for a reason
Validation, DTOs, Value Objects, Services/Actions and Repositories in Yii2 and Laravel: when to introduce them, responsibilities and trade-offs.
-
PDOdb: one Query Builder, six SQL dialects
A shared Query Builder for six databases: dialect design, native / emulate / refuse, and compatibility checks.
-
Struct: data contracts between JSON and PHP
Struct 2.0 decisions at the JSON/PHP boundary: missing versus null, strict types, collection shape, outbound payloads and DTO copying.
-
Chain: fluent calls, reusable steps and concurrent HTTP
Three execution models in Chain 2.0: wrapper state, Flow plans, concurrent HTTP, retries and atomic file publication.
Professional Experience
Tech Lead / Product & AI Architect / Founder
Stack: PHP 8.5, Laravel 13, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Scheduler, PHPStan, Pest, Playwright, Docker, GitHub Actions, Linux
SaaS for Ozon and Wildberries sellers. Built from scratch on my own: product, architecture, code, infrastructure, and deployment. In paid beta since late September, with the first paying customers.
- Per-product profit analysis with marketplace fees and taxes, plus a sales statistics dashboard — sellers see real margin instead of revenue.
- Multi-tenant: isolated seller data, in-account RBAC.
- Multi-model AI assistant: per-role tool sets, chat mode and buyer-question summarization; request usage and cost tracking.
- Usage-based AI credits (1 request = 1 credit), payments, 2FA.
- Ozon API sync via queues with retries and backoff on HTTP 429.
- Static analysis (PHPStan), unit and E2E tests (Pest, Playwright) in GitHub Actions.
