Student | Software Engineering @ Saratov State University
Goal: Become a Software Engineer / Researcher in Big Tech 🌍
Passionate about: Distributed Systems, Backend Architecture, and Privacy-focused tools.

Full Java Core (OOP, Collections, Streams, Multithreading, Generics)
Learning — Goroutines, Channels, Networking
Basics & OOP
Basics for Competitive Programming

• Distributed Systems: Consensus algorithms (Raft, Paxos), CAP theorem, replication strategies. Writing a research paper on consensus under fault scenarios.
• Go: Building concurrent networked applications — goroutines, channels, and low-level TCP/UDP. Working towards a self-written VPN implementation.
• PostgreSQL in Depth: Internals, query optimization (EXPLAIN ANALYZE), indexing strategies, transactions and isolation levels.
• Linux & Networking: Deep dive into OS fundamentals — processes, sockets, TLS/HTTPS internals, network diagnostics.
• Spring Mastery: Revisiting IoC/DI under the hood, AOP, JPA/Hibernate internals, Spring Security filter chain.

• New-Grad-Jobs — popular internship and job aggregator.
  • Developed regression tests for the Domain Concurrency Limiter system.
  • Resolved Thread Synchronization issues and Race Conditions in the testing environment.
  • Successfully integrated code through a strict CI/CD pipeline (pre-commit hooks, PEP 8 linting, AI & Human Code Review).

• Master Java + Spring ecosystem (deep internals, not just API surface).
• Build and ship a working VPN implementation in Go.
• Complete and submit research paper on distributed consensus algorithms.
• Achieve deep PostgreSQL proficiency — query optimization, indexing, transactions.
• Build a robust portfolio of real-world backend services.
• Land a Junior Java Backend Developer position.
