Volodymyr Boichentsov

Software engineering, systems, leadership, and side projects

I’m Volodymyr Boichentsov, a software engineer and engineering leader based in Dublin, Ireland. I have a computer science background and more than a decade of experience building complex software systems, shaping architecture, and helping teams do strong work.

I work at Elsevier, where I lead engineering initiatives across large-scale digital products used by professionals and students around the world. My work sits at the intersection of system architecture, developer infrastructure, high-performance applications, and the practical challenge of aligning product needs, information architecture, software design, and team structure.

Before Elsevier, I was a lead engineer at 3D4Medical, where I worked on product development and the in-house 3D rendering engine behind Complete Anatomy. It was demanding work across real-time rendering, cross-platform architecture, and large-scale content delivery, with opportunities to collaborate closely with Apple during key moments in the product’s growth. When 3D4Medical was acquired, that journey continued inside Elsevier.

I still like to stay close to the craft. Over the years I’ve worked across Swift, Objective-C, C++, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, cloud platforms, CI/CD, Kubernetes, and distributed systems. I’m especially interested in developer infrastructure, Apple platform development, machine learning, sensor-driven applications, cloud-native architecture, and product engineering that balances technical depth with real user value.

This site is where I write about software engineering, management, product development, and whatever else I learn by building. I believe the best engineering leaders stay hands-on: close enough to the technology to make better decisions, and grounded enough to focus on what matters.

Outside work, I’m into cycling, calisthenics, plants, coffee, and, most importantly, family.
