Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSergey Popov is a Senior Backend Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience building maintainable, observable, and high-throughput distributed systems for startups. He specializes in Go (7+ years) and has a strong track record designing scalable architectures—everything from sharding and replication to event-driven pipelines that handled peaks of 30k RPS. At RemNote he improved cross-platform sync and performance by moving the web client to Wasm SQLite with a custom VFS and adding tracing for better observability. Sergey combines DDD and test-driven development practices with deep operational knowledge (Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, ELK) to deliver production-ready, low-latency services. He’s equally hands-on in system design and execution, having led small teams, optimized cost-heavy workflows (80% storage cost savings), and shipped both backend and frontend components.
