Top SchoolIvan Zykov is a software engineer based in Vienna with 8 years of professional experience and 5+ years focused on backend development using Kotlin and Java. He has delivered production services at Erste Digital and built high-traffic PHP systems and CMS tooling for one of Austria’s top news portals, gaining strong TDD and refactoring discipline.
