Summary
Andrii Ilin is a Scala team lead with 12 years of experience building and architecting high-throughput distributed microservice platforms, primarily in the iGaming domain. He combines hands-on Scala development (Akka Typed, ZIO/Cats Effect, Kafka) with domain-driven design and platform-level architectural decisions, leading teams that support 20+ services under heavy load. Known for preferring quality over quantity, he drives cross-service solutions, tooling and frameworks that accelerate safe microservice bootstrapping and robust operational practices. Andrii also conducts R&D and PoCs to evolve the Scala ecosystem inside platforms, and regularly bridges business and technical stakeholders to craft practical, value-driven solutions. Based in Kyiv, he brings a curious, investigative mindset—digging into root causes across systems—and balances engineering with interests in science, medicine and fitness.
