Yaroslav Klymko is a Principal Software Engineer based in the Netherlands with around 15–18 years of experience building high-performance, distributed systems and low-latency platforms. He has driven architecture and platform work at Evolution Gaming—migrating Java/Hazelcast systems to lock-free, horizontally scalable Scala/Akka designs—and now focuses on HFT, CeFi and crypto systems as a freelance engineer working with Rust. A long-time contributor to Akka and to Event Store integrations, he blends deep practical knowledge of clustering, sharding, event sourcing and Akka persistence with hands-on code and test-suite improvements. He’s equally comfortable reviewing and guiding large teams as he is shipping critical bug fixes and resilience improvements, and he often tackles downtime-less deployments and backward-compatible API evolution. Notably, his background spans both protocol-level work (protobuf/ocpp) for EV charging systems and building JVM clients and persistence plugins for event databases, showing a rare mix of systems, tooling and domain breadth.
