Platform architecture for fintech.
Led by Pavel Rodionov, a platform architect with 15+ years in fintech. I help teams modernize architecture — from legacy monoliths to event-driven platforms that keep pace with the business.
what i do
Architecture modernization
Domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, and legacy monolith decomposition aligned with where the business is going.
Data & stream processing
Moving data platforms from batch to streaming: Kafka, Kafka Connect, CDC with Debezium, and KSQLDB in production.
Cloud platforms on AWS
Infrastructure with Terraform and CDK, internal developer platforms, and platform evolution aligned with the business.
AI enablement
Taking organizations from AI pilots to production: agentic systems on Amazon Bedrock, Claude Code adoption, agent skills and workflow design, and upskilling engineering teams to work AI-first.
