SeniorIvailo Bardarov is a seasoned VP of Engineering with 16+ years helping startups deliver scalable, secure cloud and on-premise systems while paying down technical debt and modernizing legacy stacks. He combines hands‑on full‑stack expertise in Go, Ruby/Rails and Python with deep infrastructure skills—Terraform, Ansible/Chef, Packer, ECS—and Linux/KVM virtualization to automate multi-account AWS deployments and private datacenters.
