Mykhailo Shastun is a Senior Software Engineer based in Lviv with 7+ years in software development and four years in hands-on industry roles building cloud-native and microservice systems. He has delivered end-to-end projects across .NET, AWS, and Azure ecosystems, designing architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and performant services for distributed order management and automation platforms. At Modus X and prior at Lohika and EPAM he shaped microservices from scratch, implementing robust patterns with MassTransit, gRPC, Docker, and observability tooling. An active backend contributor to the OpenVINO open-source project, he has implemented and optimized GPU kernels (e.g., DFT, GridSample, TopK) to boost AI inference performance — a detail that highlights low-level performance skills beyond typical backend work. Comfortable negotiating with stakeholders and mentoring small teams, he pairs pragmatic delivery focus with a willingness to dive into kernel-level optimization when projects demand it. Trained in system analysis at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, he blends formal analytical thinking with practical engineering execution.
