Summary
Žygimantas Povilaitis is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience designing and delivering scalable backend systems across startups and growth-stage companies. He has led architecture and engineering efforts using Python, FastAPI and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), and has hands-on experience with LLM integrations, real-time data pipelines, and high-performance distributed systems. As a former lead engineer, he combined technical ownership with cross-functional product and team management, improving reliability with observability stacks and CI/CD automation. His background includes low-level performance tuning and tooling from building proxy and ETL platforms, a less obvious strength that helps him optimize resource-constrained production services. Based in Lithuania, he currently architects game-related systems at BlockGames while continuing to bridge ML/LLM work and robust backend engineering.
