Software engineer · Rotterdam, NL

Building Go software that is ready for production.

I’m Vasiliy Grinko, a software engineer with 9+ years of experience. I build secure, fast, and reliable applications in Go, package them as containers, and run them on Kubernetes—with delivery systems that take every change from build to test, release, and verification.

About

Great software is more than code. It is everything required to ship it with confidence.

I’m a software engineer with 9+ years in the IT industry, focused on backend development in Go. I design and build applications that are secure, fast, reliable, and straightforward to operate.

My strong DevOps background lets me own the complete engineering path: build, test, containerization, Kubernetes delivery, and production verification. I bring development and operations together so every change has a clear, repeatable route from source code to a healthy service. Today, I’m based in Rotterdam and work at Swisscom.
