Summary
Gleb Kondratenko is a Lead Software Engineer based in Berlin with 12 years of experience building high-performance, user-focused web applications for finance and product teams. He has led distributed frontend teams from prototype to production, modernizing large codebases and introducing robust architectures such as hexagonal DDD for React/TypeScript systems. At Deutsche Bank and Sovcombank he drove drastic developer-experience and performance gains—cutting dev build times from minutes to under a minute, trimming initial bundles from 10MB to 600KB, and engineering components that render up to a million rows. He champions design systems and Storybook-driven UI development, improved observability through behavior and error monitoring, and applies practical UX design input alongside hands-on coding. A former founder who co-authored a book on web performance, Gleb combines entrepreneurial product sensibility with deep frontend craftsmanship and mentoring experience. He’s particularly skilled at extracting pure UI components, using Web Workers for resilient WebSocket layers, and turning legacy prototypes into maintainable, testable platforms.
