Vadim Panov

I am a self-employed Software Engineer who specialises in building high-performance backend systems with Java and Kotlin. Since 2016 I have designed, built and scaled cloud-native services for IoT, AdTech and FinTech companies, working fully remote since 2018 and operating today as a B2B contractor based in Portugal (I can issue invoices to entities in any countries and carry Portuguese VAT registration).

My core stack is Java 8-21, Kotlin, Spring Boot, AWS (ECS, EKS, Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS), Docker and Kubernetes, enriched with SQL/NoSQL data stores, Kafka, Redis and gRPC. I practice clean architecture, test-driven development and DevOps-as-code (Terraform, GitHub Actions, Helm) to deliver resilient software that can be shipped multiple times per day without drama.
