Hola, I'm Igors Lapinskis

— a /Linux developer and automation addict on a mission to make the web fly

I started hacking ActionScript at 17, animating pixels in Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash long before TikTok existed. When Internet Explorer still dominated the web, I was crafting JavaScript completely offline in a rented summer cottage where I lived with my granddad — no internet, just intuition and a barrage of alert() pop‑ups.

Since then I've:

  • Built web services used by businesses ranging from local startups to global enterprises.
  • Engineered infrastructure libraries that powered a 30‑million‑MAU social network.
  • Led a top‑tier Baltic fintech platform from concept to cashflow.
  • Deployed edge‑computing clusters that serve billions of requests with enviable p99s.

Today you’ll find me happiest in a terminal, automating fleets of Linux boxes with , Ansible, Terraform and a dash of kubectl. My north star: shipping code that is simple, observable and fast.

What I bring:

  • Performance first – latency budgets measured in microseconds.
  • Full‑stack range – Java, PHP, JavaScript, , Python.
  • DevOps mindset – CI/CD, IaC, Kubernetes, edge CDN.
  • Leadership – mentoring teams, aligning tech with business KPIs.

Need someone who sees both the circuitry and the story—who can shave off seconds, scale to millions and still ship on Friday?

Let’s talk!
