Top SchoolSergey Ponomarev is a CTO and seasoned engineering leader with 12+ years building high-load web and backend systems for government, enterprise and consumer brands. He scaled a two-person startup into a 20-engineer organization, led backend teams at Evil Martians, and now heads technical strategy at Hoodies while shepherding product and processes end-to-end. His work spans architecture, mentoring, test automation and developer workflows, with notable contributions to Ruby on Rails’ Action Cable tests and Postgres connection instrumentation. Sergey combines hands-on backend engineering for systems serving millions daily with a disciplined, transparent approach to conventions and incident-ready planning.
