Summary
Stefan Novak is a pragmatic backend engineer with eight years in software and five years focused on the .NET ecosystem, delivering scalable microservices, payment integrations, and data extraction pipelines across Azure and Kubernetes environments. He has deep experience with C#, ASP.NET Core, messaging patterns (Outbox/Inbox), and designing clean-architecture services—recently owning Product Engine and a Stripe-backed Payments API at Animal Friends. Stefan is actively transitioning to Elixir and Phoenix, building side projects to learn OTP and concurrency models, and seeks an EU remote role that can leverage his .NET strengths while growing his Elixir expertise. Comfortable in small cross-functional teams, he combines hands-on implementation with product-minded proposals (such as a SQL-backed management UI) and practical DevOps experience. Based in London and planning to live in Poland, he looks for employers who support remote work from Poland and can offer a path into Elixir work.
