Itay Grudev is a seasoned software engineering consultant with 13 years of experience building and scaling cloud-native systems, currently based in Sofia. He has led architecture and operations as CTO, migrating large platforms to Kubernetes and CloudNativePG with sub-99.999% uptime, and routinely ships improvements across backend, firmware and IoT stacks. Comfortable from embedded firmware to full-stack web and ML deployments, he has a proven record of optimizing legacy systems, implementing automated CI/CD, and reducing costs while improving performance. An active open-source maintainer, he owns CloudNativePG charts and has materially improved Qt single-instance tooling by fixing memory leaks and race conditions. He prefers hands-on engineering roles (and only wants offers if they involve spacecraft), reflecting a pragmatic engineer who still enjoys deep technical problem solving.
