Pavel

Software Development Team Lead with 6 years of experience in backend and system-level development, mostly focused on Python. I work on designing internal libraries, developing and scaling REST APIs, leading small dev teams, and automating infrastructure and testing workflows. At RuBackup, I lead a team of developers and have built a Python library for backup modules (available on PyPi), launched the first stable version of our web interface and API, and implemented an autoregressive model to forecast available storage space. I also handle onboarding, sprint planning, and engineering standards within the team. Before that, I worked at Astra Linux, where I developed automated testing modules and integrated unit testing and CI processes—reducing bug detection time by 30% and improving release quality. I’m especially interested in backend architecture, automation, and building systems that are reliable and easy to maintain.

Infrastructure Automation

Backup module ecosystem

Developing Backup Modules and Automating Infrastructure

Developed over 15 backup modules in Python for systems like PostgreSQL, ZFS, SharePoint, MS SQL, and VMware vCenter.

Standardised module architecture and config format (YAML), improving team productivity and onboarding.

Built the alpha version of the web UI and REST API, laying the foundation for further product evolution.

Deployed corporate GitLab and configured CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.

Created test stands using Proxmox and wrote Go-based CLI tools for the QA department.

Designing Core Backup Library and Forecasting Storage with ML

Led a team of 3 developers in designing and maintaining RuBackup’s software ecosystem.

Designed and implemented a modular Python library for backup integrations, now published on PyPi.

Released the first stable version of the web interface and REST API for RuBackup’s backup control system.

Developed and deployed an autoregressive model using statsmodels to predict remaining storage capacity.

Formalised internal coding standards, GitLab practices, and documentation processes to improve code quality and maintainability.
