Data & cloud engineering

Data, applications and cloud, from the first design to a stable production.

I design data warehouses, keep PostgreSQL fast and safe, move databases to AWS and build the web applications on top. You work directly with the engineer who does the work.

Services

What I can do for you

  • Data warehousing & reporting

    Warehouse design, ETL pipelines and query tuning, all the way from raw data ingestion to the dashboards people actually use.

    • SQL
    • ETL
    • Dashboards
  • Web applications

    Full-stack web applications, from the first prototype to a product with real users. Serverless on AWS, so they scale without servers to look after. Tinqerio and Mother Earth are two of them.

    • Angular
    • Node.js
    • TypeScript
    • AWS Lambda
    • PostgreSQL
  • Database reliability

    Backups you have actually restored, predictable performance and scaling before it becomes an emergency. I have led a database reliability team on AWS.

    • PostgreSQL
    • Amazon RDS
    • Aurora
  • Database migrations

    Moving to another database engine or into AWS, with a plan for schema conversion, data validation and the cut-over.

    • AWS SCT
    • AWS DMS
  • Cloud & delivery

    AWS infrastructure as code and automated GitHub pipelines, so every change is tested and deployed the same way, without manual steps.

    • AWS
    • Terraform
    • GitHub Actions

How I work

Senior engineering, AI-assisted delivery

I use AI coding tools every day. They write code fast; I decide the architecture, review every change and own what goes to production. You get the speed of AI with the judgement of someone who has run databases at scale.

  • Faster deliveryA working prototype in days, not weeks.
  • Designed, not generatedData models, security and operations get the same care as before AI.
  • Proven both waysTinqerio was written by hand. Mother Earth was built entirely with AI.

  • Angular
  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • AWS

Side project · Early stage

Crawlspire

A browser MMORPG about storytelling and character development, inspired by the games I have played. Built with AI.

About

Who is behind Synapse

I'm Peter Hinďoš, a freelance engineer from Slovakia.

My work has always been about data: designing warehouses, building reporting from ingestion to dashboards, and leading a database reliability team for cloud projects on AWS and PostgreSQL. Synapse is how I work with clients directly. There is no account manager in between; you talk to the person who does the work.
