# Violetta Pidvolotska
Software engineer focused on building resilient distributed systems.

## About

Violetta Pidvolotska engineers large-scale backend architectures. She focuses on building resilience into distributed systems, ensuring software behaves predictably when real-world failures occur.

As a technical leader, Violetta drives cross-functional reliability initiatives and helps hiring teams evaluate engineering talent. Outside of her daily work, she judges hackathons and mentors developers on system-level thinking.

Her talks focus on real-world failure modes. Recently, she broke down how to design reliable distributed systems using idempotency and exponential backoff, helping teams build software that degrades gracefully.
