Vladimir Ćirković

Backend engineer. I've spent most of my career building systems where reliability actually matters.

Background

I've been writing production code for about 18 years, mostly in Go, Java, Scala, and Kotlin. The systems I work on typically involve Kafka, PostgreSQL, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes). I care about clean APIs, proper observability, and code that other people can actually maintain.

Most of my experience is in fintech, e-commerce, and data-intensive applications. I've worked with product teams, finance teams, and ops; the work usually involves making billing, compliance, or data flows more reliable.

Recent Work
  • BVNK - Event-driven crypto platform, audit-ready data infrastructure

  • RMS/Moody's - Risk modeling systems, event sourcing & CQRS
Stack

Go, Java, Scala, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Kubernetes, Docker.

Domains

Fintech, payments, crypto, e-commerce, gaming, real-time data processing.

Approach

I write tests, document decisions, and try to leave codebases better than I found them. I prefer working closely with teams rather than throwing things over a wall.
