Senior🎓
Top SchoolYury Lytvynenko is a founder and seasoned engineering leader with 15 years of hands-on experience modernizing platforms, building reliable delivery organizations, and scaling teams for marketplaces, booking sites, and experience platforms. He runs end-to-end technology for small businesses that have outgrown their original tech but lack a CTO, combining architecture, infrastructure, and product-aware engineering to deliver measurable outcomes. Previously he scaled engineering functions at AI-driven and fintech startups as VP/Head of Engineering, and led large distributed delivery efforts at Ciklum and Grid Dynamics. As an Agile coach and trainer he has driven transformations at organizations like Namecheap and major Ukrainian enterprises, and he founded local tech communities to spread practical knowledge. Based in Kyiv, he pairs deep Java-era engineering roots with modern cloud and process practices, favoring pragmatic, ownership-driven interventions that restore velocity and reliability. Colleagues value him for turning messy legacy stacks into stable growth platforms while keeping teams focused and productive.
