Summary
Ilya Makovoz is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with eight years of experience building reliable full-stack systems, currently contributing at Bloomberg. Language-agnostic but happiest in Python, Ruby, and JavaScript, he has shipped features on RoR/React/Redux/GraphQL stacks and migrated content to static sites using Gatsby. He pairs hands-on engineering with operational fluency from a consulting background, having delivered measurable manufacturing and life-sciences improvements via OPEX, Lean Six Sigma, and change management. Comfortable with instrumentation and experimentation, he has built tracking infrastructure, dashboards, and automation tools to drive data-informed decisions. Ilya blends product-minded collaboration with a pragmatic long-term view—strong opinions, loosely held—and a behavioral economics foundation that informs how systems and teams adopt change.
