Ivo Stratev is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in cloud-native and distributed systems, currently delivering full-stack customer value at Ocado Technology. He built production services at VMware using Go, Kubernetes, operators and storage ecosystems (etcd, S3/Min.io, Kafka, Parquet/Arrow) and has given internal tech talks on Raft and why Go matters. A former teaching assistant in algorithms and algebra at Sofia University, he blends rigorous mathematical thinking with practical engineering—often surfacing elegant, bitwise or algorithmic optimizations from his teaching background. He has hands-on experience with observability and CI/CD stacks (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, GitLab CI) and data query engines like Trino/Impala. After traveling across Europe and the US, he returned to software with renewed focus on scalable systems and developer ergonomics. Colleagues know him for thoughtful design discussions and a growth mindset that bridges academia and production-grade engineering.
