Technical stack

Over the past 10+ years I've specialised in backend systems that stay reliable as they grow:

  • designing event-driven and service-oriented architectures
  • decomposing legacy monoliths into well-bounded services
  • building, deploying and operating microservices on AWS
  • profiling and optimising high-load, data-intensive workloads
  • leading engineering teams — architecture, code quality, delivery

Code examples

01 Test task — wi-Q

REST API consumer library

Consume a third-party menu API, list its products and push a correction back. No framework allowed — so the structure has to carry the weight on its own.

  • Layered by intent. Domain, Application, Infrastructure and Presentation stay independently replaceable.
  • Ports and adapters. Repository interfaces live in the domain; the Guzzle-backed implementations never leak into it.
  • Use cases, not controllers. GetProductList and UpdateProduct hold the logic — HTTP actions only translate it.
  • Tested against a stubbed API. Functional tests run over WireMock in Docker, one make away.

Recomendations

During work on our product, Andrii showed himself as a talented and hardworking developer.
He closed tasks very quickly and came for new ones the same day :)
He’s very communicative, open-minded, and organized.
I would highly recommend him because of his expertise, teamwork, and willingness to work!

I have been indirectly managing Andrey during his career in Red Rift, Inc between 08/01/2021 to 11/25/2022 on a part time basis. Andrey Shevchuk showed his professional approach from our first meeting, showed a high level of technical training and readiness to solve problems on the project. A thoughtful approach to solving problems, diligence and a positive attitude allowed us to solve the tasks set on the project. Andrey worked according to the company’s rules - he carried out the estimation of tasks, did the tracking of resources and time, observed all the rules for commenting on tasks and interacting with other team members. It is always a pleasure to work with Andrey, he is involved in the work and shows the result. I highly recommend Andrey as a php developer that can handle any task and deliver consistent results under time pressure.

I have worked with Andriy for several years. He is positive and a great team player. During that time, he has proven himself to be a responsible and goal-oriented individual who can be relied upon. He has a strong technical background, and even if he did not know something, he quickly acquired the necessary knowledge.

Andrii is the kind of developer you can truly rely on. He works independently, takes full ownership of his work, and consistently delivers clean, solid code that you can tell was written with care.

In a fast-moving team, having someone as dependable and knowledgeable as Andrii makes all the difference.
