Lev Ospennikov is an engineering manager based in Rotterdam with 10 years of hands-on experience building backend systems in Go, Node.js and Java. He combines a strong Computer Science foundation (MSc, ITMO) with practical experience improving performance and architecture across fintech, IoT and SaaS products—from optimizing API latency and money models at Changelly to designing genetic-algorithm-driven assembly line optimizers. At HousingAnywhere he progressed from senior engineer to manager, coaching teams and steering backend delivery for marketplace-scale services. Known for pragmatic problem solving, he’s comfortable shipping microservices, tuning databases, and implementing advanced data structures, and he often oscillates between individual contributor work and people leadership. An unusual detail: early in his career he led both framework-level JavaScript tooling for IoT platforms and performance-critical microservices, giving him a rare blend of low-level systems intuition and product-minded architectural skill.
