About Nikolai

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 10+ years of experience building reliable, scalable platforms — from startup MVPs to large enterprise systems with 150K+ users. I specialize in PHP 8+, Symfony, MySQL, Elasticsearch, Docker and have strong experience with DDD, CQRS, and modern architectural patterns.

I help companies modernize legacy codebases, design clear and maintainable architectures, build APIs, integrate complex business logic, and improve performance. I’m results-driven, business-oriented, and comfortable working across cross-functional teams.

If you need a reliable engineer who can quickly understand your system, deliver high-quality features, and move your product forward — I’m ready to help.
