Giovanni Poliko is a Senior Software Engineer based in Thames, New Zealand with seven years of hands-on experience across full-stack development, DevOps, and test automation. He has progressed rapidly through roles at startups and scale-focused teams—most recently at Lume Music after stints at Flicket and Xero—bringing practical experience deploying reliable systems and improving delivery pipelines. Passionate about using technology to empower under‑privileged and minority communities, he pairs technical craft with a clear social purpose. Trained at Dev Academy Aotearoa and AUT, Giovanni blends formal CS grounding with bootcamp practicality, and is comfortable working across frontend, backend, and infrastructure. Colleagues describe him as a driven problem solver who invests in capacity building and mentorship as much as clean, maintainable code.
