Ivan Olivas is a Software Engineer II based in California with nine years of experience building reliable, production-grade services in fintech. At PayPal he has driven improvements in code quality and test coverage, reduced bugs via SonarQube, and helped deliver Fraud Alert 2.0 that increased Pay Later volume by over $10M annually. He designs high-throughput analytics pipelines (handling over a million transactions per day), integrates experimentation platforms to accelerate safe rollouts, and participates in on-call rotations to keep services healthy. Ivan pairs a pragmatic engineering mindset with a bilingual background in computer science and Spanish, which has informed customer-focused features for diverse markets. He started at PayPal as an intern contributing to loan-approval flows and has scaled that impact into systems-level ownership. Curious and hands-on—his GitHub persona "Code witcher" hints at a problem-solving streak beyond routine engineering.
