Summary
Antonis Poulakis is a Senior Full-Stack Engineer based in Greece with 8 years of experience delivering production systems across fintech, SaaS, and blockchain domains. He pairs backend expertise in Node.js and Rust with modern frontend skills in React/Next.js to own services end-to-end, and has repeatedly implemented cloud-native infrastructure using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD. His work spans traditional web platforms and blockchain-integrated architectures, including on-chain/off-chain integrations and Solidity-backed flows, showing fluency across smart contracts and API-driven systems. Antonis has led teams and contracts, improved PostgreSQL performance under load, and built event-driven, message-oriented services using Kafka/RabbitMQ. Known for operating autonomously in fast-moving environments, he often bridges product and engineering to translate business needs into scalable, reliable systems. An atypical detail: he alternates between shipping Rust backends and building React frontends, giving him rare full-stack fluency across a modern polyglot stack.
