What it does

Backend & systems engineer with 17 years building and tuning high-scalability services — from game backends and payment gateways to telecom transaction systems and complex, high-volume data pipelines that ingest, process, and analyze data at scale. I like the parts most people avoid: kernel tuning, database internals, connection pooling, and replication. A track record of owning backends end-to-end — infra, data, and security. Own infrastructure, backend, and security end-to-end for a consumer-trends discovery platform. Hiring for a backend, systems, or infrastructure role? I'm open to full-remotefrom cmabastar.dev

    Hey! I'm Andrei. I got frustrated by how people tend to build overcomplicated backend systems, being "motivated" by big tech case studies and popular books. So, I started exploring lean architecture, and building my digital garden of ideas, approaches and data that align with this direction. Here I want to present one of the tools – Sizing tool for PostgreSQL. I've benchmarked PostgreSQL on different EC2 instances and disks, with different initial data sets to see performance that these instances can give you. And I've built a tool to visualize this data, which I welcome you to explore. So,…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
