ABOUT VLADIMIR ZOTOV
Full-Stack Tech Lead with 15+ years of development experience, including TypeScript, JavaScript, React, and NodeJS across various industries such as GreenTech, FinTech, InsureTech, HealthTech, SaaS, startups, consultancy, enterprise, B2B and B2C. For the last 7 years I’ve been tech leading projects, upskilling colleagues, and championing tech stacks. I’m passionate about identifying emerging tools within the JavaScript ecosystem and adopting them strategically — balancing innovation with stability through risk assessment, fallback planning, and gradual rollout. My focus is on introducing highly maintainable software and configurations in areas like monorepo tooling, Continuous Delivery, and infrastructure provisioning.I founded and ran a hands-on workshop group for 3 years (React, GraphQL, NodeJS), also running one for Angular Conference Melbourne 2018. I\'ve been a mentor in the Berlin-based Mentoring Club for engineering enthusiasts since 2020. In 2021 I had leadership and communication training for team leads. I am also a Rust and WASM enthusiast.
