Freelance Linux Kernel Developer - Kirill Erokhin
Freelance Linux Kernel Developer5.0 (233 reviews)

I am a senior full-stack & DevOps developer with a track record of maintaining distributed infrastructure, recent deep experience in large-scale data pipelines and a growing skillset and interest in applied AI/LLM integration. My recent work at an e-commerce search engine startup had me building and maintaining scrapers and a data pipeline that ingested over 10M product SKUs into an OpenSearch index, which was used for hybrid vector+lexical product search, enriched with LLM signals extracted as part of the pipeline. I've used reranking techniques like RRF to enhance relevance after retrieval, and RAG/grounding for features that answered personalized user queries with recommendations grounded in real customer reviews. My earlier work was heavily full-stack and always involved infrastructure where I often built and supported systems end-to-end, very often in context of a regulated market - with great examples like Deckard (PropTech/GovTech), Sick Children's Hospital/RareConnect (Healthcare-adjacent), and Ethoca \[now MasterCard\] (FinTech). I've also led IaC initiatives at Ethoca (Chef/Ansible, in 2016-17), and even implemented IaC from scratch for two startups - Pastel Labs (Terraform automation of AWS infrastructure for a B2B SaaS and a tutoring marketplace, in 2021), and Rilara (Pulumi for AWS infrastructure of their e-commerce product, in 2025-26). My startup experience is proven track record of working independently, but I also thrive as part of a team, with most recent example of being part of Deckard's distributed remote engineering team of 25+ people spread across the US and Australian timezones. Claude Code is part of my everyday workflow, and I am happy to consider myself a relatively-older senior developer who has successfully adapted to an AI-assisted/AI-first SDLC without compromising the quality of my work. I would be very excited to continue my journey with an opportunity in healthcare or finance, where I could apply my IaC skills while continuing to explore the world of LLM applications to improve user experience in these regulated environments. Should you have any questions about any of the background I mentioned here or on the attached resume, I would be glad to answer them in an interview at a time of your convenience. Thank you!

I tinkered with electronics as a kid, studied electronic engineering and embedded systems at university to master's level, then worked in embedded software and the Linux kernel for 6 years. I'm a huge fan of Rust, despite having been writing software for a long time, no other language has inspired me so much to write software for the sheer fun of it, or taught me so much in the process. I'm an embedded systems specialist, and thrive off developing software for small embedded processors in C and C++, and designing electronic hardware. As a mentor, I enjoy helping people find solutions to their problems, be it in Python, Arduino, Bash, C or Rust. Whether it's an implementation issue, debugging, or simply learning, during the early stages of picking up a language to more advanced topics, being able to help people achieve what they want to do gives me a real sense of satisfaction. Born in the UK and having lived there for most of my life, I am a native English speaker.

Hello everyone, I have been working in the CS industry for ~10 years. I have mainly been working on back-end and research oriented projects involving image processing. If you are looking for understanding how computers work at a deep level (as far as assembly), or want to know how big tech companies (such as Amazon) scale their projects, then I have knowledge to share with you!
