Hi, I'm Sergey Lagutin, a Senior Backend Engineer with 18+ years of experience designing and building high-performance distributed systems in Java and Scala. I specialize in microservices, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native platforms, with a strong focus on clean architecture, reliability, and performance optimization. I enjoy leading backend teams to deliver scalable solutions used by millions of users. In previous roles at Revolut, Intellias, Stuart, and Anadea, I guided architecture decisions, migrated CI/CD pipelines, and designed scalable service architectures to support multi-country expansion and regulated environments. I'm passionate about mentorship, practical engineering practices, and delivering robust systems with a focus on quality and maintainability.
