Senior Full-Stack Engineer & Tech Lead

Hi, my name is Andrei Filippov. I build and lead backend-heavy fintech, banking, payments, and B2B platforms. I work with Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL most often, but I am comfortable moving across stacks, languages, frameworks, and data stores when the product needs it. I am strongest where domain complexity, reliability, and delivery ownership matter: helping small teams move from architecture and technical decisions to production systems people can depend on.
