Nikita Marunko is a pragmatic full-stack developer with over a decade of experience delivering performance-driven Java and JavaScript systems across telecom, travel, finance and insurance domains. Based in Kawasaki, Japan, he combines hands-on coding with team leadership—mentoring engineers, interviewing candidates, and leading squads to improve delivery and reduce manual work by up to 95%. He has a strong track record of diagnosing and resolving performance bottlenecks (including a 90% query response improvement), modernizing frontends and backends, and implementing cloud and DevOps tooling. Comfortable in international, cross-cultural teams, Nikita has driven Kafka upgrades, adopted OAuth flows, and migrated React services to server-rendered Thymeleaf to cut troubleshooting costs. A math-and-CS master's graduate, he is equally at home optimizing SQL batch jobs or automating stress testing—often finding practical, non-obvious ways to cut operational overhead.
