Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVlad Kozin is a Senior Software Engineer and CTO based in London with 12 years of experience building high-assurance systems on the JVM, specialising in Clojure. He leads a Clojure SWAT team and drives engineering at Neo4j and Fullmeta, combining hands-on implementation with product-facing delivery across trading, lending and compliance domains. His background spans finance roles at Barclays, Renaissance Capital and Yandex-era work on compilers and DSLs, giving him rare fluency in both quantitative finance and language/tooling design. Vlad has built expert systems, custom APIs, infra-as-code and AI assistants, often solving regulatory and integration complexity rather than just scaling traffic. Trained in mechanics, applied mathematics and economics at top Russian institutions, he brings a research-grade analytical lens to pragmatic software engineering. Colleagues know him for tackling thorny domain specifics—compilers, DSLs and compliance logic—where most engineers prefer to avoid.
