Summary
Javier Zolotarchuk is a senior backend engineer based in Barcelona with a decade of experience building high-throughput web applications and cloud-native services. He has deep practical expertise in Java (8/11), AWS serverless architectures, DynamoDB, Postgres and Kafka-style patterns (SNS/SQS/Step Functions), and has driven measurable performance gains in production systems. At Uala he cut integration test and build times dramatically by introducing local DynamoDB with Docker and trained QAs in Python to raise test coverage on critical flows to 80%. Previously he improved search and billing performance at Despegar and increased conversion at Almundo through pragmatic data-driven features. Javier combines hands-on implementation with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and CI/CD automation, and volunteers as a programming teaching assistant, reflecting a strong commitment to knowledge sharing. He’s adept at turning operational pain points into repeatable, testable solutions that scale for millions of users.
