About Dmitrii
I can help you with:
- Quick prototyping and creating your MVP/PoC. I use a variety of technologies, allowing me to cover a lot of use-cases: from Streamlit for data-centric apps to Phoenix LiveView for delivering apps that feel like SPA but are much faster to build and easier to support. I'm full-stack, and can help you with onboarding developers and expanding your team over time.
- Integrating AI/LLMs/Agents and traditional machine learning into existing products. In fact, I have an AI powered product of my own:
- Cloud architecture, cost optimization, DevOps, DevEx, and software architecture work. For example, if you need to make your app faster, reduce the amount and severity of bugs, or optimize your cloud costs. I love Kubernetes, run my own infrastructure for my own projects, and can recommend low-effort solutions if you don't need/want to have a separate operations team.
- Building data-intensive applications and optimizing existing data systems. I'm good with SQL, Spark, Airflow, Pandas, and worked with a variety of big data systems over the years: Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Foundry, etc.
I've been programming for 20+ years, 10+ of them professionally, and have 5+ years of technical leadership experience. I usually work with the following tech stack: Python, Elixir, Rust, Kubernetes/Docker/AWS/Fly.io/Hetzner, PyData/Keras/LangChain, PostgreSQL/Clickhouse/OLAP.
I also run an educational YouTube channel with videos about Rust, Elixir, algorithms, and data structures: youtube.com/c/modernRetroTech. Sometimes I write in my blog:
