Volodymyr Lubenchenko
@volodymyrlubenchenko
I’m a senior Scala developer building high-load data and integration systems, plus hands-on IT support and consulting.
What I'm looking for
I design and deliver huge, complicated projects end to end—spanning architecture, development, refactoring, and production support. I’ve worked across Scala- and Java-based platforms, contributing to systems that must be fast, secure, and reliable under real-world operational constraints.
In recent roles, I’ve combined application development with practical integration needs: supporting financial software configuration and development, consulting on aligning tech solutions with business goals, and building features that improve security, stability, and efficiency. I’ve implemented and maintained Scala services using Akka (including Akka-HTTP/streams), Kafka, and Spark, and I’ve used Docker and CI tooling to keep deliveries smooth.
On the data engineering side, I’ve built batch and streaming pipelines, transformed large datasets, and automated workflows with AirFlow—often using Spark, Hive queries, SQL transformations, and cloud services like AWS and Google Cloud. I also bring strong operational instincts from IT support and administration experience across Linux and enterprise application servers, which helps me troubleshoot quickly and keep systems aligned with stakeholder expectations.
