Richard Chernanko is a Technical Lead based in Hamburg with 11 years of experience building backend systems and customer-facing mobile apps in Swift and Kotlin. He moves fluidly between languages and stacks—Go, PHP, Java, Node.js—and has deep hands-on experience with AWS, Terraform, Docker and containerized microservices. At LOTTO24 he progressed from developer to technical lead while continuously shipping iOS and Android features; earlier roles at justDice and busuu show strong pedigree in high-throughput APIs, data pipelines and migration from monoliths to microservices. Richard combines product-focused delivery with operational thinking—daily deploys, careful deployment-splitting, and frequent data migrations are recurring themes in his work. He also brings a testing and automation mindset from his extensive test-engineering background, ensuring quality across the lifecycle. Outside the obvious, his trajectory from content and project roles into technical leadership suggests strong communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills that help bridge engineering, product and operations.
