Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSanya Solovyov is a seasoned software engineer and consultant with 15 years of experience leading engineering teams, building high-throughput systems, and shipping product-facing code across the full stack. He has held senior technical and leadership roles including CTO and Head of Product at Kasta.ua, where he led the storefront migration to Clojure/ClojureScript, drove mobile-first transformation, and built processes enabling dozens of daily deploys and robust Black Friday scale. Equally comfortable in code and strategy, he consults on hiring, processes, digital strategy and steps in to implement critical code when needed. An active open-source contributor, his work touches projects from React (SVG/DOM fixes) to Metabase (query, caching and migrations) and Clojure tooling like rum, showing deep expertise in rendering, backend performance, and server-side rendering. Based in Ukraine, he combines pragmatic engineering obsession with systems thinking and a knack for making teams autonomous. A less obvious strength: he routinely blends frontend polish (UI/UX and dark themes) with backend resilience, bridging product quality and operational scale.
