Igor Mikushkin is a Senior Backend Developer based in London with two decades in tech and 11 years of professional software engineering experience focused recently on .NET. He combines hands-on polyglot programming (10+ languages) with systems architecture, having built and operated a 30-microservice platform at scale and managed GCP fleets of 100+ Docker containers with 99.98% uptime. As a former CTO he launched a talent platform with 20K+ MAU and led a 10+ team using Scrum while still spending roughly half his time coding. His independent work produced production apps for fleets and salons, a Kotlin/Go SMS-to-Telegram service with thousands of users, and a personal crypto algo-trader—evidence of both product mindset and deep implementation skills. A Skilled Worker visa holder and lifelong learner, he blends low-latency systems experience in C/C++ with modern cloud-native and DevOps practices.
