Mikhail Serov

Senior Fullstack Engineer & Tech Lead

I build software and hardware across the full stack — from low-level systems to cloud architecture and ML.

About

I'm a senior fullstack engineer and tech lead with 20 years of experience and a Computer Science major. Over that time I've been involved in projects galore across many fields of computer science, amassing a great deal of cross-field expertise.

My work spans software and hardware development in TypeScript, Java, C#, Python, and Assembler, with in-depth knowledge of Node.js and internet protocols. I design and ship REST, WebSocket, and GraphQL APIs, and deploy across GCP, AWS, Azure, personal VPS, OpenNebula, and Heroku.

I also work in ML/AI with PyTorch and TensorFlow, and write about technology as a tech writer for Medium.
