Profile: https://flows.cv/maksimpikovskiy

Full-Stack Software Engineer and RIT Computer Science alumnus with over 4 years of experience building and scaling 0→1 production applications. I specialize in using React, TypeScript, .NET, and AWS to architect robust solutions, such as migrating backend systems to serverless architectures to reduce hosting costs by 90%.

Currently, I am a Software Engineer at CPS, where I focus on enhancing custom-built CRM and internal business platforms. My work involves managing the full lifecycle of production systems, including VB.NET backend development, SQL Server optimization, and seamless integrations with e-commerce platforms like Salesforce, Shopify, and Magento. My goal is to ensure that mission-critical tools CPS teams and clients rely on every day are robust, fast, and user-focused.

I am always looking to connect with others passionate about robotics, autonomous technologies, API design, and internal tool architecture.
