Summary
Aleksandr Zhvanko is a lead software engineer with nearly a decade of experience building backend systems and microservices for telecom SaaS. He blends hands-on Java and PHP development with strong DevOps and Linux administration skills, working with gRPC, Spring WebFlux, Kafka, Consul, Docker, GitLab CI and monitoring stacks. At SMS Traffic he led rewrites from PHP to Java, introduced reactive programming and event sourcing, and moved a high-volume message consumer from MySQL to Kafka—significantly reducing DB load and improving throughput. A T-shaped engineer who owns design through production, he writes hand-authored OpenAPI specs, benchmarks services, and has even moved billions of rows of data with minimal downtime. Based in the region and open to remote or relocation, he now wants to shift more focus toward architecture and process optimization.
