Resume

Sergei Shapkin

Senior Web Engineer & Solutions Architect

Belgrade, Serbia

Summary

I'm Sergei Shapkin — a senior web engineer with more than twenty years spent building, scaling and maintaining platforms that real people use every day. I work across the whole stack: domain modelling and database design, application logic in Laravel and Drupal, front-ends in Vue, the containers and Kubernetes clusters everything runs on, and increasingly the AI tooling that automates the work around it.
