Hi, I’m Michael Sulyak πŸ‘‹

I build reliable, scalable backend systems, primarily with Python, Django, PostgreSQL, and Docker. I like creating projects from scratch, improving existing systems, and collaborating with great teams.

Portrait of Michael Sulyak

Interests

Web and Backend

I enjoy web development, including both front-end and back-end work, though I mostly focus on the latter. For most projects, I use Python, Django, and PostgreSQL, but I also experiment with other technologies, such as FastAPI. In my free time, I create pet projects like web applications and Telegram bots to explore new ideas.

DIY and Electronics

I create simple projects using Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino, and various sensors and boards. I also use a 3D printer to design and print enclosures and parts for my projects. I enjoy integrating sensors and automating small tasks, and I have built a basic home automation system.

Machine Learning

I am learning the basics of machine learning step by step. I build agents and have created my own chat interfaces for interacting with models. I can build small models, but for most pet projects I use ready-made ones, as modern LLMs already cover many use cases and are easy to integrate.
