Slava Poluboyartsev
Backend Team Lead
Backend Team Lead specializing in scalable backend systems with expertise in Node.js and distributed architectures.
I'm Slava Poluboyartsev — a backend engineer and team lead focused on building scalable and resilient systems. I design backend architectures with Node.js (NestJS), PostgreSQL, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes.
My experience covers the full backend lifecycle — from architecture design and API development to deployment automation and performance optimization. I have a strong background in migrating legacy systems to microservice architectures, implementing reliable communication between services, and integrating third-party platforms such as payment and analytics systems.
I care about clear engineering processes and consistent delivery. In my current work I focus on code quality, workflow design, and maintaining development standards through code reviews, onboarding, and documentation. I value practical, maintainable solutions and prefer technical decisions grounded in real usage and performance data.
Beyond coding, I enjoy building teams and development environments where engineers can grow, share knowledge, and ship production-ready solutions with confidence.
