Mikhail Smolin

Specialization: Backend Software Engineer
Initially, I have graduated with an m.d. and worked as a neurologist for ten years. But at the same time, I almost always had some software development skills. I used them as a hobby and for simplifying my life. Professionally in IT since May 2019. I have experience in developing a high-load service backend that interacts with not very good external APIs and a mobile game backend. My stack: JavaScript (Node.js, backend only), Express.js, Golang, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, MongoDB. I have used git, GitLab, AWS (EC2, ECS, EKS), Docker, Kubernetes to store source code and deploy services. I know what SOLID, DRY, KISS, ACID, and CAP are. I'm planning to continue to develop in Node.js and Go, delve into such aspects as profiling and optimization. Also, I would like to try TypeScript.
