Nikita Podelenko

Software Engineer

OnMoon•  September 2015 - Present

As a collaborative team member in a flat structured organization, I played influential roles in various facets of project development. Engaging in product designing, code development, testing, and project management, I showcased multifaceted skills while directly contributing to each project's success in the absence of traditional management. Engineered high-loaded gambling projects, notably market.csgo.com (in 2018), transforming it into a faster, multi-site engine leading to a significant increase in user engagement (60%). I also developed Skinpay.com, the first platform offering immediate payments for in-game skins, contributing to a revenue increase of 40%. As a senior backend developer and team leader, I maintained the infrastructure of a full-stack gambling ecosystem for a large, legacy gambling website. Collaborated significantly on the Steam Inventory Helper project, serving 1M users, through creating authorization services and developing APIs. Pioneered MMBets.net, allowing real-money bets on games, was built with a team of two and necessitated extensive use of Steam's low-level API. Transferred other legacy projects to contemporary frameworks like Nest and adopted modern communication methods like Google PubSub. Built a robust payment system that processed over 1 million transactions and moved the entire project from dedicated servers to Google Cloud.
