Alexey Belyaev

I am a seasoned IT professional with a deep technical background and 25+ years of experience in building high-performance solutions, scalable distributed systems, and delivering mission-critical software. I specialize in designing robust APIs, optimizing performance, and creating complex integrations across diverse products. I am passionate about AI and cloud technologies and have worked on innovative AWS services like an AI-powered code transformation project. I thrive on tackling performance challenges, with a groundbreaking experiment with 10 million(!) concurrent POST requests to a single consumer server, pushing the limits of system performance and scalability (detailed in my project on GitHub). My hands-on experience ensures I stay current with the latest technologies and best practices, which I believe is crucial for architects to maintain their skills. My approach is grounded in practical experience, data-driven decision-making, and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement. I prioritize a systematic approach - identifying and solving root causes rather than merely addressing the consequences - to deliver lasting, effective solutions. My other principles and convictions: • Think "Win-Win": The world is full of opportunities and abundance. I believe there is always a way to collaborate where everyone benefits. • Creativity is a skill: Innovation is not a gift - it's a trainable skill. There are proven techniques to achieve creative, effective solutions. Moreover, modern LLMs can easily prove and demonstrate this. • Java/Kotlin, Spring/Hibernate/Gradle, .NET, C#, ASP.NET MVC, Quartz, .NET Core. • Python, Django, Pandas/NumPy, Optuna, TensorFlow. • PHP, Ruby, Symfony, Zend framework/Doctrine/Propel/Composer. • React/TypeScript/TanStack/Cypress/Node.js, Figma, Yarn/webpack/Babel, Ext JS/Sencha, Sequelize/Dojo/jQuery/Backbone/Underscore, D3, Cloudscape/Material UI, Vanilla JS, CORS. • PostgreSQL/MySQL/MsSQL/T-SQL, SQLite, SQL/NoSQL, Redis/DynamoDB, Redshift, Snowflake. • WebRTC, ICE/STUN/TURN, Kurento, pre/post video processing. • RESTful/HATEOAS, SOAP, GraphQL, XML/XSL, DTD/XSD/RNG, Swagger, gRPC, oAuth, WebSockets, online payments processing. • Kusto/Grafana/CloudWatch, monitoring, performance optimization. • CI/CD pipelines, GitHub/Jenkins/Terraform/Ansible/Selenium/DevOps, HaProxy/Nginx, AWS/Microsoft Azure/Google Cloud, Linux Containers (LXC)/Docker, Postfix/SPF/DKIM, EC2/S3/Lambda/IAM/API Gateway, data pipelines, ETL/Lambda/Kappa architectures, ZeroMQ/RabbitMQ/Kafka/SQS/Azure Service Bus.
