Senior Software Engineer
I build reliable backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and scalable distributed applications with a focus on performance, clean architecture, and production-ready delivery.
I'm Nikita Babanin, a software engineer based in the Seattle area, Washington. For more than seven years, I’ve been building backend services, cloud infrastructure, and scalable web applications for real production environments.
My main focus is backend-heavy full-stack development, distributed systems, and cloud architecture. I work with Golang, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, PostgreSQL, and event-driven systems, and I enjoy designing reliable solutions that are clean, maintainable, and easy to scale.
Across my experience, I’ve worked on cloud platforms, IoT systems, data ingestion pipelines, AI/LLM integrations, and high-traffic backend services. I care about practical engineering: clear APIs, predictable data flow, strong reliability, and code that other engineers can understand and build on.

A short introduction to my engineering background, my approach to building reliable systems, and the kind of teams where I do my best work.
7+ years building backend services, cloud infrastructure, and scalable distributed systems with a focus on reliability, performance, and end-to-end ownership.
The tools and stacks I reach for when building reliable backend services and cloud infrastructure.
Selected work across cloud platforms, AI/LLM systems, ad tech, and data pipelines.
Agentic AI automation platform for enterprise workflows, built on LangGraph orchestration with retrieval-augmented generation, tool-using agents, and AWS-hosted inference, vector search, and event pipelines.
Backend services for an enterprise IoT remote management platform delivering reliable configuration and command updates to on-site devices, with idempotent retries and DLQ handling.
Multi-tenant B2B platform with org/role-based access, tenant isolation, billing hooks, and audit-friendly APIs, designed to onboard enterprise customers quickly.
Billing platform for SIM/eSIM telecom services, usage metering, rating, invoicing, and provider integrations with idempotent event processing and audit-friendly ledger.
Internal CRM to manage employees, profiles, roles, teams, and lifecycle workflows (onboarding, time-off, performance) with role-based access and audit trails.
Web-data capture and normalization pipeline that converted manual ~15 minute data entry into ~5 second automated ingestion, contributing to $3M+ ARR growth.
Golang backend serving an ads platform at ~10k req/min, generating VAST/VPAID creatives and ingesting client events at scale with ~90ms p95 latency.
