Summary

Senior๐
Top SchoolIvan Usik is a seasoned CTO and backend architect with 11+ years building high-load, fault-tolerant distributed systems across advertising, weather, and travel domains. He combines hands-on development in Php, Lua, Go, Python and JavaScript with deep operational expertise tuning Nginx/OpenResty, TCP stacks, databases (ClickHouse, Tarantool, Redis, MySQL/Postgres) and messaging (Kafka/RabbitMQ). At Octoclick and Gismeteo he led transitions to microservices, designed RTB/rotation and metrics services, and implemented CI/CD and GitOps practices that improved reliability and deploy velocity. He excels at translating product requirements into visual prototypes, delegating work effectively, and running load testing and pre-prod/prod rollout pipelines. Comfortable presenting to investors and driving team growth, he has a track record of shipping platform-level features like custom billing/PCI integrations, AdBlock bypass tools and high-throughput metrics collectors. Based in Dubai, he brings a pragmatic blend of low-level network tuning and strategic architecture design that often surfaces as non-obvious optimizations in OS and TCP stack configuration.
