Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVlad Churakov is a solutions architect and seasoned software engineer with over 19 years of experience designing and delivering everything from monoliths to cloud-native microservices and event-driven systems. Based in Auckland, he blends hands-on full-stack practice (React/React Native, Node.js/TypeScript, Java/Kotlin, Swift) with strategic architecture work—turning business cases into scalable, high-traffic production services and evolving infrastructures on AWS. He has led migrations to GraphQL, introduced feature flags and test automation to shorten release cycles, and driven IaC, blue/green deployments and performance optimisations across mobile and API stacks. Vlad’s background includes founding high-traffic consumer projects and rebuilding legacy front-ends into modern SPAs, giving him a practical edge in balancing product velocity with operational resilience. He’s comfortable mentoring teams and shaping long-term technology strategy while still digging into low-level performance and platform details that many architects overlook. Reliable, pragmatic and curious, Vlad pairs deep engineering craft with a track record of improving delivery practices and system reliability.
