Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrey Romanov is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient front-end systems and reliable backend libraries, currently based in Lisbon and working at Datadog. He has a strong track record of shipping customer-facing products and internal platforms—most notably replacing costly third-party support systems at Joom and Avito, and creating monorepo infrastructure and shared UI libraries that scaled across multiple teams. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs TypeScript/React expertise with backend work in Kotlin, Go, and Node.js, and has stepped into backend gaps to keep projects moving. An open-source contributor, he improved core reliability in microsoft/rushstack by fixing macOS/Linux file-locking race conditions and preventing accidental lockfile deletion. Colleagues rely on him to tame legacy codebases—he modernized front-ends without disruptive rewrites—and to document and automate workflows that unblock teams. Born in Siberia and self-described as writing “bear-resistant” code, he blends pragmatic engineering with attention to long-term stability.
