Summary
Alexey Shirmanov is a Technical Lead with nine years of professional software experience and a deep hands-on background in Java/Kotlin, Spring, and modern cloud-native architectures. He has led teams and technical roadmaps at Pleo after driving API gateway and microservices work for Open Banking and integrations, and previously decomposed large monoliths into low-coupled, observable services at Atlassian. A Spring Professional v5.0 certified developer who champions TDD and pragmatic trade-offs between customer, developer, management, and architectural needs, he pairs strong coding craftsmanship with incident and tech-debt management. Comfortable across the stack—from reactive Spring and AWS deployments to GraphQL and CI/CD—he brings a systems-minded approach to reliability and performance. Based in Batumi, Georgia, Alexey combines formal EE training with years of distributed systems practice, often focusing on maintainable, test-first code that endures beyond immediate feature delivery.
