Senior🎓
Top SchoolBorys Lykah is a senior software engineer with 15 years of experience building secure, production-grade systems across fintech, survey platforms, and enterprise software. Currently at Mercury, he architects authorization infrastructure—designing an OAuth2 provider, a generalized approvals system, and hardware authenticator sign-in—often implementing solutions in Haskell and TypeScript backed by PostgreSQL. He has a strong track record at SurveyMonkey and earlier firms delivering authentication (SAML), multilingual features, and enterprise integrations that improved reliability and analytics. A pragmatic generalist, Borys pairs backend security and protocol design with hands-on implementation and a history of leading web architecture and conversion tooling efforts. Educated with a Master's in Computer Science from Kharkiv Polytechnic, he quietly favors robust, type-safe languages and has repeatedly turned complex security requirements into auditable, user-friendly flows.
