Jakub Jurkian | Software Engineer

Logic, Structure, Design.

I am a software engineer specializing in backend development, programming since 2021. I am dedicated to delivering clean, testable, and highly efficient server-side solutions. My approach combines a strong analytical foundation from my computer science studies with hands-on expertise in solving complex problems and understanding how software architecture and infrastructure work together.

My drive is to tackle backend challenges with engineering precision, prioritizing data consistency and practical functionality. I treat every project with professional discipline — ensuring solid test coverage, automated CI/CD pipelines, and secure API designs while looking for an opportunity to contribute to a production environment.
