Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIvan Dyachkov is a Field CTO (EMEA) based in Stockholm with 12 years of experience building and scaling distributed systems, developer platforms, and reliability-focused infrastructure. He progressed from hands-on engineering and DevOps—contributing build, CI/CD and signing tooling to the popular emqx MQTT broker—to leadership roles at EMQ, Klarna, Spotify and others where he drove large re-architecture efforts, Kafka adoption, and high-availability transaction systems. Ivan blends technical depth in backend, deployment automation and observability with customer-facing solution strategy, sales enablement and ecosystem development. Known for turning legacy, vertically scaled systems into horizontally resilient platforms, he pairs pragmatic engineering with field advocacy to align product, partners and enterprise customers. An Erlang and Kafka practitioner at heart, he also brings a rare mix of build-system craftsmanship and go-to-market savvy.
