Senior🎓
Top SchoolIlia K is a Customer Solutions Engineer with 11 years' experience specializing in Java/Spring backends and distributed systems, currently focused on GridGain/Apache Ignite at GridGain Systems. He combines deep runtime troubleshooting (GC, thread-dump analysis, high-CPU) and performance tuning with hands-on product work—shipping bug fixes, extending a Kafka connector, and driving feature productization for strategic customers. Previously he led Keycloak SSO integration and custom SPI/plugin development for complex auth flows, packaging and blue-green clustering at Unlimint. Comfortable across the stack—Python/Bash, Docker/K8S, React, and RPMs—he excels at translating customer needs into robust, production-ready changes and better onboarding through documentation. Colleagues note his mentorship impact, having trained newcomers who became top performers, and his knack for spotting elusive, showstopper bugs under pressure.
