Profile: https://flows.cv/ruslanfarutdinov

Software Engineer with 5+ years experience focused on backend development. 
I build event-driven backend systems and data pipelines utilizing TypeScript, NodeJS, NestJS, MongoDB, GCP, Python, Docker, DBT, Luigi, BigQuery.

I've invested heavily in CS fundamentals through Bradfield's computer science program - systems/architecture, networking, operating systems, data structures & algorithms, and distributed systems - because I believe strong foundations make for better engineering decisions.
