Ruslan M.

I’m a Principal / Staff Software Engineer and former CTO with 13+ years of experience building production software, e-commerce platforms, AI systems, integrations, and distributed backend infrastructure. I help companies solve complex engineering problems: stabilizing existing systems, designing scalable architecture, building AI-powered workflows, integrating third-party services, and taking products from prototype to reliable production. My recent work includes AI agents and automated workflows, production AI image-generation systems for e-commerce, algorithmic trading infrastructure, and optimization engines involving machine learning, time-series analysis, and complex decision algorithms. I also have deep e-commerce experience with Magento / Adobe Commerce and Shopify, including payments, checkout and order flows, ERP/API integrations, performance optimization, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, and high-traffic production environments. Previously, I served as CTO / Head of Technology, managing an engineering team and building a B2B commerce platform that raised $28M. Key areas I can help with: • AI agents, LLM workflows and agentic systems • AI/ML-powered applications and automation • Backend architecture and distributed systems • E-commerce and agentic commerce • Magento / Adobe Commerce and Shopify • Payments, checkout, orders and third-party integrations • API design and complex system integrations • Performance optimization and production reliability • Testing, observability and system stabilization • Technical architecture and engineering leadership I’m deeply hands-on and comfortable entering an existing codebase, understanding it quickly, identifying weak points, and implementing production-quality solutions rather than just providing high-level advice. I hold a PhD in Mathematics from Lomonosov Moscow State University and work with clients internationally from Cyprus.
