Vitalii Ekert is a senior software architect and engineer from Kyiv with over 20 years in software development and 12 years of professional experience, specializing in PHP (5/7/8), SQL, and Symfony-based architectures. He designs and leads high-load web systems—handling 100k+ daily users with sub-20ms response targets—and has built compliant solutions for HIPAA and PCI DSS environments. His toolkit spans databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), messaging and event platforms (RabbitMQ, Kafka, SQS), search engines (Elasticsearch, Solr), and multiple languages including C#, Java, Python, and Go. He practices TDD/BDD/DDD and defensive programming, mentors teams, conducts technical hiring reviews, and champions clean, layered architecture with CI/CD. Comfortable in English at a C1 level, he prefers remote leadership roles (Lead/Architect/Principal) and brings an unusual combination of game-server experience and formal training in information security.
