Online resume and developer profile

Hello, I'm Anton Vasiliuk_

Backend-Focused Fullstack Developer

I work both on live Laravel products, where production must stay stable and legacy needs careful refactoring, and on new systems, where the backend architecture, APIs, integrations, and core product logic need to be built from scratch.

About me

Backend / API / fullstack support

Mode: control room

I own the backend, from domain model to production

Backend-focused fullstack developer with 10+ years of commercial experience. I usually take ownership of backend architecture, APIs, integrations, adapter layers, database-heavy features, and gradual legacy rewrites. In some projects that means evolving a live product without breaking delivery; in others it means building the system from scratch around domain logic, admin flows, payments, and external services. In recent work I rebuilt core backend flows, connected 8+ external providers behind one adapter layer, and stepped into React and TypeScript when the product needed frontend support.

Primary Value

I rebuild critical backend flows without stopping production or turning delivery into chaos.

Working Style

I get into the domain quickly, shape a workable integration model, and carry the task through to production.

Skills

Core stack and adjacent tools

The stack I use most often in paid work, plus adjacent tools I can step into when the project needs them.

Backend

Own projects

Independent products where I own more than the backend

Independent products I build end to end: from the idea and data model to the interface, integrations, and launch. Each has its own domain and user journey.

AI-assisted astrology product

AstryHub

AstryHub is a product with payments, an AI chat, account flows, and bilingual content. I built the backend, screen structure, and delivery logic so a complex topic feels like a usable digital product.

AI chat Credits FAQ Glossary RU/EN

Why it matters

This one shows payments, a real content model, an AI layer, and bilingual structure. It behaves like a product, not a decorative landing page.

Instagram grid planner

Instiles.online

Instiles.online is a browser editor for connected Instagram layouts from 1x3 to 4x3. It separates the shared composition from per-tile content, previews the real profile with thumbnail crops and gaps, and exports posts in publishing order. I designed and built the editor, the export logic, and the bilingual site.

Canvas editor Profile preview Seam-aware export 1×3 – 4×3 RU/EN

Why it matters

The hard part is not cutting an image but modelling what Instagram actually shows: thumbnail crops, seams between tiles, and publishing order. It is product logic built around the surface users really see, not a simple splitter.

Dating through conversation

Talkfirst

Talkfirst is a dating service where the first step is answering a daily prompt. People read each other’s thoughts, unlock profiles after posting their own answer, and start a chat when interest is mutual. I built the product with a Laravel API, a Next.js interface, and a separate Go service for real-time messaging.

Laravel Next.js Go WebSocket PostgreSQL Redis RU/EN

Why it matters

Discovery rules and access to conversations follow the product logic. PostgreSQL stores messages, Redis connects real-time instances and presence, and WebSocket delivers events to the browser.

Product idea validation

s1doit.com

s1doit is a platform where small digital agencies share recurring manual tasks and independent developers validate solutions with future users. A problem catalog, solution attempts, and test results preserve a shared history. I built the Laravel backend, the public React and TypeScript interface, and the Filament operator panel. The project is live as a pilot.

Laravel React TypeScript Filament PostgreSQL RU/EN

Why it matters

A problem persists regardless of what happens to an individual solution. Each attempt has an author, a status, and updates; test results and findings remain for the next team. The model separates participation, attempts, and outcomes, while an operator reviews problems before publication.

Current Product (NDA)

Senior Backend Developer

2025 - now product backend + platform rewrite

Product backend role focused on keeping a legacy commercial platform stable while migrating its core logic to a new engine without disrupting the live product.

Key outcomes

New Engine in ~3 Months

Rebuilt the core backend engine in about three months while the legacy branch stayed live, clearing the architectural limits that had been blocking new features.

External Providers and Billing

Integrated 8+ external providers and 3 billing systems behind a unified adapter layer with shared retries, stock sync, and provisioning, so adding a new provider became a routine, low-risk task.

Hot Paths and Stability

Profiled the heaviest API endpoints, database queries, and background jobs. After tuning the hot paths, the service stopped falling over under peak load and became much easier to operate.
