Belgrade, Central Serbia
Summary
🤩
RockstarIvan Katkov is a versatile full‑stack software engineer and technical writer with 5 years of experience building scalable web, mobile, and AI‑driven products used by enterprise clients including Amazon, Microsoft, and Deloitte. He combines rapid prototyping instincts with production discipline—shipping MVPs like a map‑centric AI assistant and an international AI image startup while improving CI/CD, accessibility, and performance in long‑running platforms. Comfortable across React/Next.js, Svelte, Node.js, Python, Kotlin/Swift, and cloud/DevOps tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS/Azure/GCP), he regularly bridges frontend UX needs with backend and infrastructure realities. At Arcadia he optimized build times and testing workflows to materially boost developer productivity and led a small frontend team to deliver accessible, media‑heavy assessment tools. He’s equally at home refactoring legacy banking UIs and architecting geointeractive social apps, and brings a background in seismic data analysis that highlights a knack for numerical methods and data visualization. Based in Dubai, he blends indie‑hacker product sensibilities with enterprise delivery experience to turn complex requirements into pragmatic, maintainable systems.
