Summary
Mykola Basov is a Senior Software Engineer based in the UK with 11 years of professional experience and seven years focused on building customer-facing products and developer tools. He blends front-end expertise (Ember.js, D3.js, Vue.js) with backend and infra work (Node.js, TypeScript, Elixir, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, GCP/AWS) to ship fast, pragmatic solutions that cut costs and improve reliability. At Bloomberg and prior roles he drove measurable improvements—CI and Docker optimizations, query batching that tripled algorithm speed, and GraphQL/Apollo cache tuning to reduce stale-data bugs. He mentors teams on best practices (PR culture, GraphQL patterns) and has a track record of turning performance bottlenecks into scalable features. Comfortable across stacks, he often finds elegant minimization strategies (e.g., returning counts for near-instant charts) that deliver business value in days rather than months.
