Ivan Gankevich

Introduction

Hello! My name is Ivan. I have a PhD in computer science and fluid dynamics. My thesis is about ship motion simulation on multi-core and hybrid systems (CPUs and GPUs). I have spent over ten years in academia and then decided to continue my career in tech.

Below is my work experience and recent projects.

«Sometimes I think that I got more knowledge from Ivan than from the university. […] He has strong experience in networking and Linux programming.»

I have been working with Ivan for almost 3 years, and I am excited about how much knowledge he has and how he distributes it to the team. Sometimes I think that I got more knowledge from Ivan than from the university.

He was a product lead at Staex, but was also responsible for every technical aspect of the company. He has strong experience in networking and Linux programming. Moreover, he has his own consensus algorithm, which can be useful for distributed systems, and that's a point about his skills in that area. I am not sure that a task exists that cannot be solved by Ivan. Also, I learned a lot of things from him about how to write more secure, reliable and clean source code in Rust. Last but not least, I want to say that all the infrastructure at Staex was working due to Ivan's.

I can confirm that Ivan provides his opinion clearly and can manage the team to make the product ready and usable. At the same time, Ivan helped a lot of other team members from the marketing and operational teams make their work easier by introducing new tools.

As a team member or leader, Ivan got my highest recommendation.

«Ivan possesses extensive knowledge in decentralized and distributed systems […] There is no network architecture he cannot automate, digitize, and optimize.»

Ivan possesses extensive knowledge in decentralized and distributed systems, and his expertise has been instrumental in designing, building, and optimizing our customers' networks with unerring precision.

From his years as a professor at an esteemed tech university, he has brought in thoughtful insights and continuous research, driving the development and enhancement of the Staex product.

There is no network architecture he cannot automate, digitize, and optimize. Moreover he reviews systems in a snapshot and can instantaneously build and remedy situations, hardware and software related, making him a trusted tech leader who truly understands the complexity of today's (mobile) networks — systems, communication, security.

Apart from deep technical knowledge, he does not shy away from hard work and speedy turnarounds in a demanding startup culture. Ivan has a great sense of humor and is always willing to answer any questions. He holds patents and has led our tech team brilliantly. Thank you for your dedication and service, Ivan. I look forward to staying in touch and witnessing your future achievements.

«Half of the group should say thank you for C++, I'll say it for them. Otherwise, the course was informative and definitely not harsh.»

I really liked the course, I discovered a new and very interesting (and most importantly useful for the future) OS.

It was not enough at the beginning of the lesson on a good Ubuntu setup, about installing the necessary programs.
