about me

I build backend systems and intelligent automation tools. 14+ years in software development, last 7 years focused on Java / Spring Boot. Currently working at a leading insurance company, developing and maintaining enterprise systems for contract and claims management.

I also create my own products:

  • fitli.pro — Telegram bot for workout tracking with AI recommendations
  • java-ai.pro — blog and collection of practical Spring Boot AI starters

I work well with structured, data-intensive applications. I prefer building reliable, well-tested systems over chasing hype.


what I bring to a project

  • Strong experience in Spring Boot, Hibernate, and Java ecosystem
  • Experience integrating local and cloud AI models into business applications (Ollama, local LLMs, Spring AI)
  • Ability to design and deliver a product from idea to production
  • Strong analytical thinking: I find simple solutions for complex problems
  • Clean, documented, tested code — no shortcuts that cost later

current tech stack

  • Core Technologies: Java 17+, Spring Boot, Hibernate, PostgreSQL
  • Data & Migration: Liquibase, Flyway
  • Architecture & Integration: REST APIs, Microservices, Spring Cloud, Kafka
  • AI: Spring AI, Ollama, Local LLM Integration, RAG
  • DevOps: Docker, Linux, CI/CD

my principles

  • Solve real problems, not imaginary ones.
  • Prefer simplicity over unnecessary complexity.
  • Quality over speed — but deadlines still matter.
