Nikita S. - , Cloud Migration, Cloud Architecture

My name is Nikita S. and I have over 11 years years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: Kubernetes, CI/CD, Google Cloud Platform, Terraform, Docker, etc.. I hold a degree in Master of Computer Science (MSCS), Bachelor of Computer Science (BCompSc). Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: 1 million+ MAU AWS Python/FastAPI Email Service, AWS infrastructure, GCP Infrastructure, EZ Corp legal entity formation, ResumeBuddy resume builder, etc.. I am based in Yerevan, Armenia. I've successfully completed 6 projects while developing at Softaims.

My passion is building solutions that are not only technically sound but also deliver an exceptional user experience (UX). I constantly advocate for user-centered design principles, ensuring that the final product is intuitive, accessible, and solves real user problems effectively. I bridge the gap between technical possibilities and the overall product vision.

Working within the Softaims team, I contribute by bringing a perspective that integrates business goals with technical constraints, resulting in solutions that are both practical and innovative. I have a strong track record of rapidly prototyping and iterating based on feedback to drive optimal solution fit.

I’m committed to contributing to a positive and collaborative team environment, sharing knowledge, and helping colleagues grow their skills, all while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in solution development.
