Igor Balos is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable, maintainable production systems across backend, infrastructure, and testing. He has shipped high-scale transactional email features at Postmark (ActiveCampaign) and improved long-term developer experience in a large JavaScript/TypeScript monorepo at Ghost. Igor’s background in automation and performance testing informs a pragmatic approach to engineering—he’s reduced full regression testing from days to minutes and slashed infrastructure provisioning time from a week to an hour through containerization and IaC. He’s comfortable across Ruby on Rails, JS/TS, Terraform and AWS, and has routinely improved anti-abuse workflows, observability, and internal tooling to protect users while reducing support overhead. Based in Novi Sad, Serbia, he blends hands-on coding with mentoring and process improvements, and is known for squashing tricky bugs fueled by curiosity (and coffee).
