Constantin Potapov

Technical Entrepreneur / System Architect / DevOps Engineer

20+ years in development, architecture, and product launches. Goal — to build a successful technology company. Specialization: Python, Django, FastAPI, React, DevOps.

Technical entrepreneur with 20+ years of experience in product development and launches. I specialize in creating technology businesses: from MVP to scalable platforms. Stack: Python (Django, FastAPI), React, Next.js, DevOps. My goal is to build a successful technology company that creates world-class products.

Over the past 9 years at PVS-Studio, I built corporate infrastructure from scratch: main website, CRM, HelpDesk, and dozens of internal services. Developed proprietary automation tools: SmartCache (×2 speed boost), Phylactery (automatic environment deployment), Perfector (competency system), Crawler (SEO audit), Profiler (performance analysis). These projects proved I can not only write code but create products that solve real business problems.

I work as a technical advisor or project architect: run architecture and performance reviews, plan migrations, set up load testing, and make releases predictable with visible metric lift. I model the ROI of decisions and show impact in revenue terms and SLAs.
