Oleh – Golang, Golang REST API, AI agent development

Oleh is a senior backend engineer with 16 years of commercial experience, specializing in platform engineering at the intersection of fintech, legal tech, and AI. He has deep ownership across security-critical infrastructure — from building PCI DSS-compliant payment systems to architecting document intelligence pipelines — and has recently moved into AI-native engineering practices, running Claude Code in production for CI/CD orchestration and fully agentic bug resolution. He operates confidently from a vague brief, communicates directly with CTOs and founders, and consistently owns architecture-level decisions rather than waiting to be handed a spec.

Experience Highlights

Senior Software Engineer
Apr 2025 - Apr 20261 year
Project Overview

A legal tech SaaS platform for structured data extraction from M&A agreements, serving large law firms globally. Core capabilities include high-accuracy document parsing, semantic search over extracted data, customizable views with advanced filtering and charting, and an AI chat interface. The platform handles enterprise-scale document workflows with strict per-customer access control.

Responsibilities:
  • Restructured storage-layer data models in a large-scale refactoring effort, enabling fine-grained enterprise access control across customer datasets and workflows
  • Reduced tokenization failures by 90% through search vector optimization, improving platform reliability and minimizing downstream pipeline failures
  • Accelerated search performance by 30x by optimizing vector retrieval and launching metadata-aware semantic search
  • Built the Views (Portals) feature — a customer-facing data framework with configurable charting, advanced filtering, and role-based access controls
  • Created Grafana dashboards for production observability across the GCP/Kubernetes infrastructure
  • Built internal AI engineering tooling using Claude Code, including a fully agentic bug-resolution pipeline that reproduced issues locally, opened fix PRs, verified results, and produced code-review walkthroughs

Project Overview

A PCI-compliant fast checkout platform integrated directly into merchant e-commerce flows, handling payment credential collection, customer authentication against card networks (Visa, Discover), and end-to-end payment processing. Served merchants and their customers at high availability across five years of scaling and security-critical growth.

Responsibilities:
  • Owned security architecture including encryption-at-rest, tokenization, and network isolation — contributing to zero security incidents over five years
  • Designed and deployed HashiCorp Vault infrastructure for secret management and cryptographic operations across the platform
  • Drove PCI DSS compliance across four consecutive successful audits; architected a secure card storage deployment using Terraform + Vault with a CircleCI-based infrastructure change pipeline for auditable, mission-critical updates
  • Established the foundational Kubernetes cloud platform with distributed tracing, authentication, and integrity monitoring; provisioned all cluster infrastructure via Terraform
  • Built the core Golang monolith spanning authentication, payments, and orders, scaling it into a multi-service payment platform
  • Built API integrations with Visa and Discover; defined the card-tokenization blueprint for all future card-network integrations
  • Architected ACH bank-payment integration including secure customer banking credential storage
  • Introduced a shared internal Golang library of best practices and reusable service frameworks, adopted as the engineering standard across teams; recruited and mentored 12 engineers
  • Set up CI/CD pipelines for 8 core microservices with Puppeteer/Headless Chrome automation scripts; reduced core service latency by 1.5–2x via load testing and optimization
  • Maintained 99.95%+ SLA; migrated ~1M data records to PostgreSQL as part of a company merger integration
