Valentyn Kit
Distributed-systems & platform engineer
Data-intensive and FinTech backend roots, working from first principles one level below and one level above. Six years across reliability-critical, distributed systems, now leading a Rust-core platform and deepening toward low-level systems and blockchain protocol engineering.
Experience
Lead Backend / Platform Engineer
- Lead the platform for a 200K-MAU self-custody FinTech wallet. Designed and own the Rust-core blockchain-abstraction layer every other service builds on: one reliable interface over many chains, with idempotency, back-pressure, and circuit-breakers turning flaky providers into a dependable substrate.
- Modeled money movement (swap, stake, bridge, card-spend) as explicit state machines: durable, exactly-once, crash- and reorg-recoverable.
- Secure non-custodial signing on MPC custody; Go/Rust microservices on Kubernetes, shipped daily.
Rust, Go, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL
Senior Software Engineer
- Built an agentic-AI platform for enterprise: multi-agent coordination, MCP gateways with auth, quotas and telemetry, trustworthy RAG with citation traceability, and CI/CD with safe rollback.
- The engineering discipline around AI: guardrails, verification, observability, deployment safety.
C#/.NET, Azure, Semantic Kernel, MCP
Backend Engineer
- High-concurrency Web3 game-economy backend: currency, rewards, and leaderboards correct under concurrency at scale.
- Blockchain integration layer with idempotency and back-pressure that absorbed chain variance without player-visible errors. Event-driven over RabbitMQ, Lambda, and EKS.
.NET, PostgreSQL, AWS (Lambda, EKS), RabbitMQ
Backend & Reliability Engineer
- Re-architected data-intensive document-processing pipelines on Azure Functions and Service Bus with batching, back-pressure, and idempotency: higher throughput at lower cost, SLOs held.
- Zero-downtime delivery across a five-environment path; on-call P1/P2 incident response, alerting, and telemetry.
Azure (Service Bus, Functions), .NET, MSSQL, Elastic
Trainee .NET Developer
- REST microservices, Entity Framework / MSSQL, Agile.
