Ruslan M.

I’m a Principal / Staff Software Engineer and former CTO with 13+ years of experience building production software, e-commerce platforms, AI systems, integrations, and distributed backend infrastructure.

I help companies solve complex engineering problems: stabilizing existing systems, designing scalable architecture, building AI-powered workflows, integrating third-party services, and taking products from prototype to reliable production.

My recent work includes AI agents and automated workflows, production AI image-generation systems for e-commerce, algorithmic trading infrastructure, and optimization engines involving machine learning, time-series analysis, and complex decision algorithms.

I also have deep e-commerce experience with Magento / Adobe Commerce and Shopify, including payments, checkout and order flows, ERP/API integrations, performance optimization, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, and high-traffic production environments.

Previously, I served as CTO / Head of Technology, managing an engineering team and building a B2B commerce platform that raised $28M.

Key areas I can help with:

• AI agents, LLM workflows and agentic systems
• AI/ML-powered applications and automation
• Backend architecture and distributed systems
• E-commerce and agentic commerce
• Magento / Adobe Commerce and Shopify
• Payments, checkout, orders and third-party integrations
• API design and complex system integrations
• Performance optimization and production reliability
• Testing, observability and system stabilization
• Technical architecture and engineering leadership

I’m deeply hands-on and comfortable entering an existing codebase, understanding it quickly, identifying weak points, and implementing production-quality solutions rather than just providing high-level advice.

I hold a PhD in Mathematics from Lomonosov Moscow State University and work with clients internationally from Cyprus.
