Ruslan Lutsenko is a Senior Engineering Manager based in Leiden with 14 years of deep DevOps and cloud infrastructure experience, currently leading engineering at Backbase after scaling TechOps and security functions as Director at Travix. He specializes in automating infrastructure lifecycles, configuration management, CI/CD and cloud migrations—having led large AWS-to-GCP and on-prem-to-GCP moves, managed Kubernetes fleets, and built centralized logging and private OpenStack clouds. A hands-on leader who still contributes to code and tooling, he has improved Jenkins integrations in open-source jenkinsapi and routinely blends Python and Go for automation and platform work. Known for pragmatic cost and reliability optimizations, cross-functional stakeholder management (including PCI/GDPR/SOX constraints), and building geographically distributed teams, he pairs operational rigor with a continual hunt for the “perfect” config management setup.
