Summary
Ilia Ablamonov is a technical lead with 17 years of experience building and scaling production systems, currently based in Valencia, Spain. He transformed a BI prototype into a stable, low-legacy product at Rick.ai while continuing active feature development and steering a move from a monolith to stateless Kubernetes services. His background spans front-end UX for constrained platforms (Plex SmartTV clients) to backend engineering with Python, Go, PostgreSQL and Cassandra, and he has co-founded and grown a web agency from 3 to ~60 people. Comfortable bridging product and ops, he’s pragmatic about avoiding big rewrites while reducing resource consumption and improving observability and docs. Known for solving platform quirks and designing reusable subsystems, he combines hands-on coding with hiring, architecture and DevOps experience.
