Pikadil
Social shopping platform for deals and coupons
I co-founded Pikadil and lead engineering across its web platform, public API, and mobile application. I manage a team of three developers while remaining hands-on with the backend. My work includes the data model, community features, integrations with 10+ affiliate networks, search, caching, and technical SEO.

Integrated 10+ CPA and affiliate networks through APIs for automated offer ingestion and tracking. Optimized SQL queries, background jobs, caching, and search for large datasets. Developed the marketplace’s SEO architecture, structured data, and content features.
Engineering leadership
Own architecture decisions across the platform and infrastructure. Lead delivery planning, team calls, code reviews, and engineering standards. Set up Docker-based development and CI/CD with Bitbucket Pipelines.
