👤
SeniorPetr Flaks is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building backend systems, developer tooling, and frontend features using TypeScript, React/Next.js, Node.js and occasional Swift. Currently shaping business logic for VK Calls, he brings deep practical expertise in API design, testing, automation and infrastructure-as-code from prior roles leading teams at SPIKS. He has a track record of removing operational bottlenecks—introducing Pulumi/Terraform, automating CI/CD, and enabling automatic API client generation from OpenAPI specs.
