Summary
Bozhidar Gevechanov is an engineering manager based in Amsterdam with 10 years of experience building and scaling product-focused teams across fintech, payments, logistics and tax/compliance domains. He combines hands-on engineering (Golang, Ruby, Kubernetes, Kafka) with people leadership—hiring and growing teams, instituting CI/CD and incident practices, and driving daily releases from fortnightly cycles. At Catawiki he led initiatives that delivered multimillion-euro revenue and cost savings while removing single points of failure across fulfilment systems; at Scaler he expanded the Amsterdam engineering base and standardized release and observability practices. Currently leading Earn and a stealth team at Bitvavo, he excels at translating regulatory and financial complexity into reliable, auditable systems. He pairs business-minded decision making (financial training from CFI and Harvard Exec Ed) with a habit of making frequent small code contributions to keep close to the product. Notably, he has repeatedly built teams from scratch and operationalized on-call, monitoring and reconciliation processes that de-risk money flows at scale.
