Aleksei Pushnikov is a senior backend and platform engineer with over 15 years delivering resilient, production-grade distributed systems and 20+ years of hands-on software experience. He currently architects and owns enterprise-grade staking backends spanning ~20 blockchain networks, focusing on HA APIs, observability, and strict reliability for institutional clients. Aleksei has led multiple greenfield and migration projects—transforming monoliths into microservices, introducing gRPC contracts, Keycloak-based auth, and CI/CD practices—to reduce technical debt and improve scalability. He pairs deep operational ownership (deployments, monitoring, incident response, post-mortems) with pragmatic design of async and real-time flows using message brokers and WebSockets. Comfortable across the full stack, he has built products from startup booking platforms to commercial multiplayer games, often operating as sole technical owner. Based in Budva, Montenegro, he blends long-term system stewardship with a tendency to prefer clean contracts and measurable observability over adhoc fixes.
