Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIlya Gurevich is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building high-traffic web platforms, currently responsible for the core Node.js and server-side React infrastructure at The New York Times. He has led major rearchitectures—migrating a Scala GraphQL resolver to a Node/Apollo subgraph with Redis and in-memory caching—to reduce latency for billions of annual requests. His background spans real-time collaborative editors (ProseMirror, Firestore, Kafka), multi-platform webviews (Swift/Kotlin/Web), and migrating legacy PHP pages to modern SSR React. Earlier work scaling Loadsmart from an early-stage team to a unicorn taught him pragmatic product-driven engineering and data visualization at scale. Comfortable across front- and back-end stacks, he pairs system-level performance fixes with attention to accessibility and operational tooling.
