VP Engineering @ Frontnow
Munich, Bavaria, Germany · hire@schibrikov.com · LinkedIn
I'm a Software Engineer with 8 years of experience in JavaScript and Python development. I'm a passionate T-shaped engineer, having a wide range of skills allowing me to create completely new products with complex requirements from scratch. I'm a fast learner always keeping a hand on the industry pulse, not sticking to things that are already familiar. I love experimenting with languages, tools, and approaches in development.
For the last couple of years I'm working through the entire development stack from setting up servers and CI/CD to frontend and animation. I believe to be able to satisfy any engineering requirements and provide simple though effective solutions.
At Frontnow, we work on two major projects: Advise — a general-purpose chatbot, and Enhance — an e-commerce product data enrichment and correction platform.
I am hands-on and write code regularly, while also playing a key role in technical and architectural decision-making across all our products.
At OHMYSYNT we developed generative AI solutions for businesses. In particular — AI-driven image generation and editing for marketing and other purposes.
I was responsible for a full cycle of software engineering in a very dense team — including architecture, development and Ops.
In MALIVAR we worked on an AI video processing product, primarily providing face swap functionality. I was solely responsible for software development on top of the AI models. The primary challenging part was orchestrating time-consuming processing tasks in distributed GPU-enabled clusters and working with big media files.
Development of backend and frontend services from the ground up with Python, Kotlin, Rust, and JavaScript/Svelte; setting up and maintaining cloud-based infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud; CI/CD pipelines for all services; monitoring, incident investigation and hot fixing.
As a contractor I created the initial version of the AI-based face swap video processing product for MALIVAR. Svelte on the client side and Python/Aiohttp on the backend together with manually-managed RabbitMQ/PostgreSQL; bare EC2 instances on AWS, Ansible deploy scripts, ELK monitoring stack.
At Fastdev, I worked as a consultant with its various customers in different industry verticals. Primarily as a solo frontend engineer in small to medium cross-functional teams.
Developed and integrated services in a micro-frontend architectured product, supported and refactored the company's UI library, and boosted development workflows by unifying build processes for 20+ micro-frontend repositories.
