Vlad Yatsenko

Vlad Yatsenko possessed an incredibly rigorous, deeply technical background in advanced software engineering, complex financial systems architecture, and massive-scale institutional banking infrastructure. Operating as a fiercely capable backend developer who spent years completely optimizing incredibly dense, highly secure trading algorithms for massively prominent investment banks in London, this intensely technical foundation provided the exact engineering mastery required to successfully pioneer the massive Revolut financial network.

Vlad Yatsenko is the co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer of Revolut. A notable financial systems programmer, Yatsenko was the engineering clever who built Revolut's core banking ledger from scratch. At Revolut, Yatsenko engineered the real-time multi-currency ledger, wrote the low-latency payment processing pipelines that connect to Visa and Mastercard, and directed the cloud-native infrastructure that scaled to serve 45 million global users with sub-second execution speeds before transitioning to board-level advisory and technology investments. Yatsenko's mastery of high-throughput financial architectures was the technological bedrock that made Revolut possible. Drawing on a decade of systems engineering at UBS and Deutsche Bank, Yatsenko wrote the original in-memory multi-currency ledger, engineered the low-latency payment processing pipelines connecting to Visa and Mastercard, and ensured that 45 million users experienced sub-50ms transaction responsiveness across 30+ currencies with zero downtime.
