Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIllia Petrov is a Platform Senior Software Engineer with 9 years’ experience building scalable APIs, integrations, and platform services from San Francisco. He has driven measurable user-impacting improvements at Gorgias—most notably a 30x P99 search latency reduction and unifying public APIs to improve third-party developer experience. Illia excels at rescuing and modernizing legacy systems (real-time update services, phone platform) and building robust CI/CD and data synchronization pipelines that handle billions of records. Comfortable across backend, integrations, and performance engineering, he pairs pragmatic design with hands-on implementation and a knack for anticipating production issues before they surface. He holds advanced degrees in computer systems analysis and AI, and brings a habit of iterating quickly on hard design decisions—often learning more from the rewrites than the first draft.
