Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIvan Vučica is a Site Reliability Engineer with 18 years of hands-on experience in systems, games and application development, currently working on Corporate Compute and Storage SRE at Google in Dublin. He joined Google in 2013 via the Ganeti team and has continuously bridged low-level virtualization, large-scale infrastructure and developer-facing tooling. Comfortable across Objective-C, C++, Python and backend systems, Ivan brings a rare combination of production SRE rigor and game-engine/OpenGL pedigree dating back to early indie and GNUstep projects. He is an active open-source contributor, having improved gRPC-Gateway’s OpenAPI generation and maintained platform compatibility in GNUstep’s base library. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic system architecture and cross-platform interoperability, and he still pursues hobby game development that informs his practical, performance-minded engineering approach.
