Summary
Ivan Ermolaev is an experienced IT Development Engineer based in Amsterdam with 11 years of hands-on software engineering across high-throughput, mission-critical systems. He has built scalable microservice platforms and real-time event-driven architectures using Java/Spring, Kubernetes, and reactive streams for finance, broadcasting, and telecom clients, optimizing performance under intense load. At Ex Machina he engineered robust session and metrics systems to survive DDoS-like voting spikes for major TV shows, and at FG BCS he reduced frontend load times substantially while wiring real-time VaR and trading integrations. Comfortable across backend, frontend, and infra, he combines deep backend expertise with pragmatic frontend optimizations (React/Redux, Ag-Grid) and production tooling (Helm, GitLab CI). A practical tester by creed ("If you have a day with zero testing, you’re drifting"), he emphasizes resilience, observability, and measurable performance gains.
