Summary
Ivan Saloponov is a lead software engineer based in Germany with nine years of experience building high-performance, microservice-driven systems for financial services. He combines hands-on optimization—having sped key analytical queries tenfold and cut debugging time by 60% through distributed tracing—with product-focused delivery that helped attract 20,000+ clients and drive significant loan disbursements. Proficient in Java, Spring Boot, OAuth, Docker and database tuning, he has a track record of modernizing legacy architectures to scalable microservices and implementing internal CRM and OAuth flows. Comfortable across C#, C++, and cloud-native tooling, he also contributed to developer tooling early in his career (Acuminator) and brings an unusually strong blend of security-aware backend engineering from his MEPhI background.
