Backend engineer who ships production systems — solo.
I’m Maxim Chumakov — k1y0mi. In ~1 year of commercial work I designed and shipped four multi-tenant production platforms solo — from DB schema and API to deploy and load testing. Async stack (FastAPI, async SQLAlchemy, aiogram 3), LLM integration, ~30 Linux servers under management. Plus a real LLM-efficiency tooling track on the side.
What I do
I’m a backend engineer — Python at the core: Django 5, DRF, FastAPI, async SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Redis. I design multi-tenant systems and own them from DB schema to deploy and load testing. Around that, a real LLM-efficiency tooling track, plus ML and systems work.
Backend engineering
My core: Python — Django 5, DRF, FastAPI. Multi-tenant data models, REST APIs, auth and RBAC, an async stack, deploy and k6 load testing — features owned from DB schema to production.
class Platform(models.Model):
tenants = "isolated"
stack = "async"
shipped = True # solo
AI / ML
Classifiers and detectors — fine-tuned transformers and classic ML, calibrated and honestly evaluated on hard test splits.
LLM tooling
Formats, skills and MCP servers that cut token cost for agents — lossless, round-trippable, measured with tiktoken.
Systems & security
Lower-level work too: a terminal web browser, CLI tools, an encrypted messenger, intrusion detection and BadUSB tooling.
Where I’ve shipped
Commercial backend work — production systems with real users, owned end to end.
Sole or lead developer of four production platforms plus the company CMS and site. Took over the entire codebase from a departed developer. Introduced Git (the code was edited directly on prod before) and k6 load testing as a pre-release practice. Administer ~30 Linux servers across client deployments — provisioning, deploy, DNS/SMTP.

Selected work
Four production platforms first — commercial, built solo. Then open-source and side projects, filterable by domain — everything there links to source. Full list on GitHub →
token-diet live playground
See what your JSON costs in tokens and dollars across models — then put it on a diet. A live playground backed by a reproducible benchmark (JTF cuts ~40% losslessly).

ru-ai-text-detector live demo
Detects whether Russian text is human-written or LLM-generated. Statistical features (v1) plus fine-tuned ruBert transformers (v2–v4), calibrated to FPR ≤ 3%. Service / CLI / TUI, fully local.

glyph
A web browser that runs in your terminal. Fetches over HTTP(S), parses HTML with html5ever, applies a subset of CSS, lays it out as text. Tabs, forms, session restore — no JS engine, intentionally fast.
