Mykhailo Karkachov

Senior Full-Stack Engineer, 15+ years. Currently acting CTO at a small US startup, where I lead a team of 10 and still ship production code every week.

The work I keep coming back to is the unglamorous kind. Payment flows that must not lose money, event pipelines where a wrong number turns into wrong revenue reporting, and queries that fall over at peak load. 15 of those years were remote with US-based teams, from Europe.

Open to senior and lead engineering roles, remote or in Valencia.

What I work with

  • TypeScript and Node.js, NestJS, Express, Python and FastAPI
  • React, Next.js, React Native
  • PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka
  • AWS and Google Cloud, Docker, CI/CD, observability, cloud cost control
  • Payments and risk, Apple Pay, Google Pay, KYC, fraud prevention, analytics
  • LLM features in production, AI agents, AI-assisted engineering workflows

Public work

SaaS Production Readiness Review Toolkit, a methodology for stage-appropriate technical reviews of early products. It is a public method, not a client case study and not a compliance audit.

Most of my commercial work is private or client-owned, so it is not here.

Consulting

I also take independent engagements reviewing the technical state of a SaaS platform and deciding what to fix first. Architecture and code reviews, infrastructure cost analysis, production readiness, AI-agent setup.
