Über Nikolay

Fractional CTO & System Architect | Digital Transformation & Technical Strategy


I bridge the gap between complex business requirements and scalable technical reality. Whether you are a high-growth startup needing a Fractional CTO to build a technical roadmap from scratch, or an enterprise seeking a System Architect to overhaul legacy infrastructure, I design the engines that power modern business.

The Value I Bring

I specialize in transforming operational complexity into streamlined, automated systems. My approach combines the analytical rigor of a PhD in Physics with over a decade of Full-Stack Engineering and leadership experience. I don’t just advise on digital transformation; I architect and oversee the implementation of systems that reduce technical debt and maximize business value.

Why Work With Me?

  • Startup & Scale-up Leadership: As a founder and Managing Director, I have first-hand experience building products (CMT) and leading technical teams through rapid growth cycles.
  • Enterprise-Grade Experience: I have a track record as a consultant for major organizations.

Core Offerings & Deliverables

  • Fractional CTO Services: Strategic technology roadmapping, R&D best practices, and technical leadership for startups navigating the transition from MVP to scale.
  • System & Enterprise Architecture: Designing robust, scalable back-office infrastructures and microservices in the cloud.
  • Digital Transformation & Automation: Auditing manual workflows to implement end-to-end automated cycles.
If you are looking for a technical partner who can speak both "Boardroom" and "Source Code," let’s discuss how we can deliver together the next stage of growth.

Projekt- und Berufserfahrung

  • Commission Management Tool & Techccino Ltd
    Co-Founder & Lead Tech Architect – B2B SaaS Platform
    DIGITALAGENTUREN & IT-CONSULTING
    Juli 2021 - Heute (4 Jahre und 11 Monate)
    London, Vereinigtes Königreich
    The Project
    Co-founded and engineered an automated, cloud-based B2B SaaS platform designed to eliminate manual spreadsheet dependency for recruitment commission tracking, payroll forecasting, and multi-tier bonus structures.

    Technical Execution & System Architecture
    Backend & Calculation Engine (Python): Developed a data-ingestion engine with asynchronous background workers, handling bulk data imports (CRM/ATS integrations via API), and executing multi-dimensional financial calculations securely.

    Frontend & User Experience (React.js): Architected responsive front-ends with clean UI/UX to transform intricate financial calculations into intuitive self-service portals and BI visualisations for both managers and consultants.

    Infrastructure & DevOps (Kubernetes & Microservices): Designed and deployed a highly available, microservices-based infrastructure orchestrated via Kubernetes. Implemented resilient CI/CD pipelines to guarantee secure data isolation, automated backups, and zero-downtime deployments.

    Cross-Functional Leadership
    Managed operational framework bridging the technical roadmap with initial business operations, ensuring compliance with secure financial data handling while aligning product delivery with marketing and B2B sales pipelines.

  • Automated BI & ETL Data Pipeline @ JumpData Ltd
    Lead Data Engineer & Cloud Architect
    DIGITALAGENTUREN & IT-CONSULTING
    April 2021 - September 2021 (5 Monate)
    London, Vereinigtes Königreich
    The Project
    Architected and deployed an automated data integration and custom Business Intelligence (BI) pipeline for a multi-location hospitality client. The solution centralizsed fragmented operational, transactional, and inventory data from various third-party platforms into a single databse to drive daily KPI analysis and reporting.

    Cloud Infrastructure & ETL Automation (GCP)
    Serverless Orchestration (Cloud Run & Cloud Scheduler): Developed a Python backend running on a serverless microservices architecture. Choreographed complex multi-stage overnight cron jobs to systematically pull, cleanse, and transform bulk daily operational records via third-party REST APIs.

    Database (Cloud SQL): Deployed and managed a secure, MySQL database cluster on Google Cloud to handle data ingestion alongside aggregated performance metrics.

    Enterprise-Grade Security (Secret Manager & IAM): Implemented strict zero-trust security protocols by abstracting all production API tokens, database credentials, and password into a managed Secret Manager, ensuring zero hardcoded credentials within the codebase.

    Hybrid Data Workflows
    Engineered a unique, secure bi-directional hybrid bridge utilizing Google Apps Script. This allowed the administrators to manage custom metadata categorization through a familiar interface, dynamically syncing configurations back to the central SQL database using cloud authenticated user roles.

    BI Dashboards with Google Data Studio
    Configured optimized database connectors to build interactive executive dashboards, visualising operational health, performance metrics and financial trends.

  • Key Driver Tool @ JumpData Ltd
    Lead Technical Architect & Full-Stack Developer – Serverless Data Analytics Tool
    DIGITALAGENTUREN & IT-CONSULTING
    Februar 2020 - April 2021 (1 Jahr und 2 Monate)
    London, Vereinigtes Königreich
    The Project
    Architected and developed a fast, web-based statistical analytics application used by market researchers and enterprise clients to perform Key Driver Analysis (KDA) on consumer satisfaction datasets.

    Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture

    Serverless Architecture (Google Cloud Platform): Designed and deployed a fully serverless backend infrastructure to process highly unpredictable, spiky analytics workloads. This guaranteed instant auto-scaling for heavy statistical computations while maintaining near-zero baseline operational costs.

    Asynchronous Data Pipelines: Built efficient Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) pipelines to securely ingest, parse, and validate multi-format survey data uploads (CSV, Excel) seamlessly in the cloud.

    Full-Stack Engineering & Optimization

    High-Performance Backend (Python): Implemented advanced recursive algorithms to run complex multivariate regression, Ridge Regression, and Relative Importance models simultaneously. Optimized computation routines to reduce execution times for high-variable datasets down to seconds.

    Interactive Visual Dashboards: Engineered a responsive web frontend to render tabular datasets and complex statistical outputs—including dynamic quadrant maps, scree plots, and trend visualizations—into clean, actionable business intelligence reports.
