Ian Clark is a polyglot Senior Software Engineer based in Leipzig with 11 years of experience building resilient backend systems and leading cross-functional engineering initiatives. Currently at Exaring (waipu.tv), he has a proven track record as a tech lead who architected a 20-developer refactor to deduplicate webhooks, cut error rates by ~20%, and recover significant operational visibility. His hands-on work spans Python, Go, Kotlin/Java, and Postgres migrations—delivering reliability improvements (up to 99.999%) and automation that saved months of manual effort and tens of thousands of euros annually. Comfortable operating at both code and architecture levels, Ian brings a pragmatic focus on observability, scaling, and cost-efficiency, and holds permanent residency enabling work across Germany.
