Backend Engineer | Go & TypeScript | MVP Development for Growing Teams
📍 Germany · 5+ years of commercial experience Backend Engineer | Go · TypeScript · Scalable APIs for Startups & Growing Teams Hey there! I help startups and growing teams turn ideas into backend systems that actually hold up — reliable APIs, clean data architecture, and infrastructure that scales without falling over the moment real users show up. I've been building professionally since 2021, working directly with founders and teams in fast-moving agile environments where priorities shift weekly and "we'll figure it out later" isn't good enough. I bring structure to that chaos: clear documentation, transparent progress updates, and European work standards, so you always know exactly where your project stands. What I actually help with Most of my clients come to me with one of these problems: "Our backend can't keep up with growth" — I design and build scalable APIs and event-driven systems that handle real load. "We need an MVP shipped fast, and it needs to be solid" — I take a product from architecture to deployment without cutting corners that come back to bite you later. "Our data layer is a mess" — I clean up and structure data architecture so it's not fighting you six months from now. I'm also comfortable working across the full stack (React/TypeScript frontends, Flutter mobile, Docker/AWS deployment) when a project needs one person who can own more of the picture — but backend systems and API architecture are where I do my best work. How I work I care more about the problem behind the brief than the brief itself. If you tell me what you need, I'll ask why you need it — because the "why" usually changes the solution. I'm quick to adapt when requirements shift mid-sprint, comfortable working solo or embedded in a team, and I keep communication simple: no black boxes, no surprises, just regular clear updates. Solution-first, not just spec-following Reliable with deadlines Transparent, structured reporting Fast learner across new tools and stacks Calm, friendly, easy to work with Languages English – fluent German – fluent (bilingual) Russian – fluent (bilingual) I'd love to hear what you're building. Reach out and let's talk about how to get it done right.
