Top SchoolBohdan Khodakivskyi is a founder and engineering leader with around 10–15 years of web development experience, now bootstrapping a sustainable online business from Dubai without VC funding. He has built and scaled teams and products from zero to one as a founding engineer at a YC startup and later managed large front-end organizations, including teams of 20 direct reports. Hands-on across the full stack, Bohdan has contributed to high-profile open-source projects like webpack, fixing bugs, improving build tooling, and refining source-map and UMD behaviors. His background spans fast-moving startups and product launches—most notably leading Careem’s web development for a major delivery vertical—while balancing people management with technical delivery. Comfortable switching between execution and strategy, he combines entrepreneurial grit with deep front-end and build-system expertise. As a former public finance master’s student who pivoted into engineering, he brings analytical rigor and an unusually business-minded approach to technical decision-making.
