Oleksandr Ivanov - Senior Software Engineer

About Me

I’m a software engineer at heart, with over 10 years of experience building complex, large-scale systems that support real business needs.

My main expertise is in Java and cloud-native architectures, but what truly motivates me is solving hard engineering problems. I enjoy digging deep into systems, understanding where they break, and designing solutions that are reliable, scalable, and easy to live with over time.

I do my best work in environments with meaningful technical challenges and real responsibility — where long-term vision needs to meet day-to-day execution.

How I work

I think in systems

I don’t just write code — I design systems. Systems that are resilient, observable, and maintainable. I’ve led architectural transformations that turned legacy bottlenecks into scalable, high-load platforms.

I care about engineering culture

Great software is built by strong, empowered teams. I spend a lot of time mentoring engineers, reviewing code, and helping teams grow technically.

Pragmatism over hype

I’m not driven by trends. Whether it’s Spring Boot, Kubernetes, or a new architectural pattern, I choose tools that solve real problems instead of following hype.
