Meet Alex – Expert in Architecture Recovery and High-Stakes Systems

Alex is one of those rare engineers who thrive in chaos. When systems get too complex, too slow, or too unreliable to fix with surface-level patches, he’s the one who dives in — not just to stabilize, but to rebuild foundations.

He’s been the lead technical voice in several architecture recovery cases across banking, fintech, and SaaS. From stream processing systems for VTB Bank to biometric authentication platforms for large financial institutions, Alex brings clarity where others see only legacy.

In one case, Alex was brought in as the key knowledge holder for a real-time event pipeline that had become unmaintainable. Built on Java 17, Spring, Kafka, and PostgreSQL, the system was choking under increasing data volumes. With limited documentation and real users on the line, he reverse-engineered the data flow, stabilized the system, and helped redesign it for long-term growth.

He’s worked on complex microservice infrastructures for secure authentication systems, advertisement delivery engines under strict latency requirements, and high-load SaaS platforms like EventStripe — built to support tens of thousands of concurrent sessions, monitored with ELK and Grafana.

But perhaps more importantly, Alex brings a mindset that sees through the noise. In many of the systems he’s invited to evaluate, the core problems don’t lie in the code — they lie in the absence of architecture, documentation, and long-term thinking. He helps clients slow down, see the big picture, and make decisions that won’t explode five years later.

His tech stack includes Java (11–20), Spring, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, ELK, and Grafana. But tools are never the point — the point is to bring systems back to a state of health, performance, and clarity.

At H-Studio, Alex leads critical audits and recovery projects — often stepping in when things feel unfixable. And that’s exactly when he does his best work.
