Victor Portnov is a senior software engineer with 14 years of experience blending hands-on C/C++ development, Erlang and JavaScript with technical leadership and project management across telecom and browser-integrated applications. He has architected and shipped SIP-based real-time systems and cross-platform browser plug-ins for Windows, Linux and OS X, bringing deep protocol and middleware expertise to product teams. Victor has led projects and teams under SCRUM and PMI PMBOK practices, transitioning from hands-on developer roles to senior engineering and project manager positions. His polyglot background (Haskell, Ruby, Python, CoffeeScript) and exposure to Symbian and iOS platforms reflect a rare comfort across low-level systems and high-level scripting. Currently at Five9, he focuses on scalable C/C++ and Erlang solutions for communications, while maintaining a pragmatic eye for UX-level browser integrations. An understated strength is his ability to bridge formal project governance with low-level protocol engineering, enabling predictable delivery of complex telecom software.
