Aleksandr Filichkin is a Principal Software Engineer based in Malaga with over 15 years of experience delivering high-load, low-latency backend systems and 8 years leading teams and architecture efforts. He specializes in Java and AWS-driven microservice architectures, with hands-on experience migrating monoliths to cloud-native solutions, serverless patterns, and infrastructure-as-code (CloudFormation/Terraform). A pragmatic solution architect and AWS Certified practitioner, he has built production distributed systems using DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, Flink, ECS, and reactive frameworks for demanding performance and scalability needs. Aleksandr pairs deep SQL/NoSQL expertise with DevOps fluency and a track record of improving performance, observability, and reliability across large engineering organizations. Colleagues describe him as a technical leader who still codes—often tackling the hardest backend challenges himself while mentoring teams of 15+. His long tenure at EPAM and recent senior roles at Awin reflect a blend of enterprise experience and a passion for efficient, cloud-first system design.
