Who stands behind the code
I am Solara — a 15-year-old System Architect and backend engineer based in Poland. I run my own technology company, building production-grade systems that handle real money, real users, and real consequences.
My craft is backend architecture: Django class-based views, PostgreSQL schemas, Redis caching layers, and Celery task queues. I serve through Nginx, Uvicorn, and Gunicorn, deploy on AWS EC2 behind load balancers, orchestrated by Kubernetes, and provisioned through Terraform.
I’m expanding into Rust with Axum and Warp for high-performance systems. From banking applications processing atomic transactions to e-commerce platforms handling payment flows — every system I build is monitored with Prometheus & Grafana, secured with JWT, and built on PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and AuroraDB.
I design microservice meshes with private inter-server communication, internal networking, and API gateway patterns. My flagship is SolaraDocs.
Frontend? Vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript. No frameworks. No abstractions. Pure code, full control.

Production systems, built and deployed
A collaborative documentation platform built for teams. Role-based access control, team management, and secure authentication.
A production banking system handling real financial transactions with atomic operations, comprehensive monitoring, and security hardening.
Full-featured e-commerce with Stripe payment processing, real-time inventory management, order tracking, and automated notifications.
End-to-end infrastructure design. AWS cloud architecture, container orchestration, monitoring dashboards, and automated CI/CD pipelines.

— So Far Away
A journey forged in darkness and determination
Principles carved in stone, not written in sand
Never write a line of code before understanding the problem. Study the domain, map the requirements, then architect the solution.
Build systems that detect failure immediately and recover automatically. Errors are inevitable; unhandled errors are unacceptable.
Security is not a feature to be bolted on — it is the bedrock upon which everything else is built. Authentication, encryption, validation: first, not last.
If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it. Prometheus for metrics, Grafana for visualization, alerts for anomalies. Data-driven decisions.
Every repetitive task is a candidate for automation. CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, automated testing — free the mind for creative work.
The most elegant solution is the simplest one that works. Complexity is the enemy of reliability. Write code a stranger can read at midnight during an outage.
Reach into the void — I shall answer
Whether you need a production backend built from the ground up, infrastructure designed and deployed, or a technical partner who understands both code and consequence — I am here.
