Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDima Blahodatny is a Development Team Lead based in Kyiv with nine years of software engineering experience, currently leading development at MetLife. He spent five years as a Senior Software Engineer at McGraw Hill designing service-based architectures, building CI/nightly build systems, an online data warehouse, and tuning production stacks to handle thousands of HTTP requests per second. Comfortable with Laravel/Symfony and MySQL, he has a strong track record of driving architecture, coding standards, and coordinating offshore teams to deliver reliable, high-performance web platforms. Earlier roles include hands-on engineering at Intetics and a brief pivot into IT sales and SEO project management, where he closed a $25k contract—evidence of his ability to bridge technical and business conversations. Trained at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, he pairs methodical documentation and performance analysis with a systems-oriented, almost philosophical approach to harmonic design and balance in software. Colleagues would describe him as an engineer-leader who blends deep technical rigor with an eye for operational scalability and cross-functional impact.
