Built MVPs. Led teams. Survived funding drama.

Oleg Pustovit

Lead Software Engineer specializing in scalable infrastructure for early-stage startups. I've taken multiple products from zero to MVP—hands-on with Kubernetes, Go, GraphQL, and the rest of the modern cloud jungle.

This site shares lessons from the buildout trenches: system design patterns, startup engineering strategies, and practical technical write-ups.

Interested in co-founding opportunities and long-term technical leadership for teams solving real problems at scale.
