Summary
🤩
RockstarAleksei Gusev is a Senior Software Engineer based in Helsinki with over 17 years in software development and nine years of recent professional experience delivering backend and full-stack systems. He has deep hands-on expertise in Ruby on Rails, Python, and TypeScript, and a strong track record modernizing legacy applications, splitting monoliths into microservices, and migrating payment systems. At WithSecure he improved PostgreSQL performance to millisecond-level responses for most queries and led a migration from JavaScript to TypeScript to boost maintainability; at Forenom he continues to drive production-grade solutions. Aleksei is an active open-source contributor to notable projects such as Microsoft’s SQL Tools Service, where he enhanced SQL Assessment capabilities and fixed critical script-generation issues. Known for shipping reliable, well-tested systems and improving observability via CloudWatch and Grafana, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a passion for code that he describes as central to his life. Colleagues appreciate that he balances low-level problem solving (DB performance, assessments) with practical architectural moves that reduce long-term operational friction.
