Senior🎓
Top SchoolBohdan Khablenko is a Senior Lead Backend Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and shipping resilient, production-grade backend services and APIs. He combines strong product collaboration with pragmatic architecture choices—driving Kotlin adoption, extracting scalable microservices, and reducing integration time for new game platforms. At Gankster he built the Duos backend to 30K MAUs, architected a Discord LFG bot serving communities with 1M+ members, and implemented multi-channel notification and moderation pipelines. Previously he built security-focused infrastructure at Very Good Security, contributing Keycloak migrations, OPA-based RBAC sidecars, and SAML SSO integrations for enterprise customers. Comfortable across cloud-native stacks (Java/Kotlin, Spring/Quarkus, Kafka, PostgreSQL, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform), he also prioritizes observability and on-call resiliency so systems survive 3am PagerDuty alerts. Based in Kyiv with an applied mathematics background, he mixes engineering craft with practical automation—e.g., integrating Grafana-driven AI workflows to speed root-cause analysis.
