Backend Engineer | Python Automation, Web Scraping, Bots & WordPress
I'm a backend software engineer with 4+ years of experience, including 2+ years of commercial engineering at Yandex, one of Europe's largest tech companies.
At Yandex I worked on PHP and Python backend systems and built data pipelines to process and optimize large-scale datasets for production use.
Over the last 2+ years I've also worked independently, delivering real-world solutions for clients: Python web scrapers, FastAPI backends, WordPress plugins, Discord/Telegram bots, and PostgreSQL-backed automation systems.
My focus is on reliability, clear communication, and maintainable code.
Core services:
Web scraping and data extraction (Selenium, Playwright, BeautifulSoup, Requests)
REST API development and integration (FastAPI, Flask, Django, PHP)
Discord and Telegram bots (custom commands, moderation, notifications, integrations)
WordPress custom plugin development and backend PHP logic
Python automation scripts for data processing and file operations
PostgreSQL database schema design and query optimization
Docker-based deployment and containerization for self-hosted services
I’m available for both one‑off tasks and ongoing backend work.
I prefer to start with a short requirements discussion, propose a clear scope and milestones, then deliver in small, verifiable iterations so you always see progress.
