Top SchoolIvan Hunko is a Senior Software Engineer and technical leader from Kyiv with 9+ years of experience delivering backend systems and leading teams, specializing in Golang and PHP (Laravel).

Ivan has led cross-functional teams from POC to scaled products across fintech, sports, ecommerce and foodtech, and has a knack for quickly learning new domains and languages (he picked up Go on the job and later built complex async processors and AI agent integrations). He contributes practical open-source improvements (notably extending NeoEloquent factories for Neo4j/Laravel interoperability) and combines hands-on coding with process design—Jira, Agile, specs and documentation—to ensure reliable delivery. His background in both full-stack work and cloud architecture lets him bridge product and infra needs, and his MBA complements technical leadership with business-focused decision making.
