Ivan Battimiello has been recognized with a 2025 Global Recognition Award for sustained excellence in technical leadership, secure systems design, and team development at an international level. The recognition reflects a record of leading cross-functional teams while delivering complex backend and cloud infrastructure projects that support high-traffic, security-critical platforms in fintech, public administration, and digital media. Evaluation results highlighted perfect scores in vision and strategy implementation, ability to inspire and motivate others, ethical decision-making and integrity, and encouraging innovation and creativity within his field, which collectively placed Battimiello among the strongest performers in the 2025 cycle.

His career includes more than nine years of full-stack development, with a focus on backend engineering, as well as several years as a DevOps engineer and technical leader responsible for aligning architecture, performance, and reliability with organizational goals. Professional experience includes work as a game developer, senior full-stack developer, DevOps engineer, team leader, and tech leader across European and American clients, where he has operated exclusively in English in international environments for over three years. Academic training with a bachelor’s degree in computer science complements hands-on expertise in Java, Python, Go, Node.js, Angular, databases, and cloud-native tooling, which strengthens his capacity to translate complex requirements into scalable and maintainable systems.

Technical Leadership And Strategic Implementation

Battimiello’s role as technical lead at Lasting Dynamics from January 2023 to September 2024 demonstrated a consistent ability to connect strategy with execution, as he supervised an eight-member cross-functional team while ensuring that all deliverables met PCI-DSS compliance requirements for payment processing. This work involved leading customer meetings, clarifying technical requirements, defining the technology stack, and making trade-offs on architecture and tooling to ensure projects remained secure, performant, and aligned with business timelines. The implementation of security standards, such as encryption, monitoring, and systematic vulnerability checks, reflected a disciplined approach to risk management that is critical for financial and payment environments handling sensitive customer data.

His technical contributions within that leadership role ranged from building new features in Go and PostgreSQL to integrating payment providers such as Worldpay and RS2. He also designed REST services that adhered to OWASP Top 10 security principles, ensuring minimal exposure to common web vulnerabilities. Infrastructure responsibilities included managing AWS-hosted environments using Kubernetes, Kustomize, and FluxCD, which allowed services to scale and remain reliable as deployment complexity increased across projects. Observability and protection improved as he implemented CloudWatch and CloudTrail for centralized logging and monitoring, configured web application firewall rules for threat mitigation, and adopted image scanning based on inspectors. These actions, together, supported consistent delivery through CloudFront, application load balancers, and RDS-backed data services.

Innovation And Cross-Functional Impact

As a senior backend and DevOps engineer at Lasting Dynamics from September 2021 to January 2023, Battimiello provided a setting where he combined engineering depth with measurable business outcomes. He led the development of a manga community platform serving more than 2 million users, utilizing Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Docker. Revenue on this platform doubled after he integrated payment providers such as Shift4Shift4 for fiat transactions and Coingate for cryptocurrency, demonstrating an understanding of how payment flows, reliability, and user experience interact in large-scale consumer services. He also architected and delivered an internal e-commerce shop generator using PHP, Laravel, PostgreSQL, and Docker, integrating providers such as Klarna, PayPal, and Stripe, which enabled faster client onboarding and improved customer satisfaction through more flexible payment options.

Additional projects strengthened his profile as an engineer who can transition between domains while maintaining performance and reliability, as evidenced by his development of a support website for neuroscientists using Python, Flask, Celery, PostgreSQL, and S3. This project improved upload speed by 83 percent and increased API efficiency. Worked on a finance mobile application using Ruby, Fastlane, OneSignal, and Bash to ensure stable deployment pipelines for Android and iOS. Introduced Spid and CIE authentication via React Native to expand the user base while enabling targeted push notifications. Oversight of CI/CD pipelines across more than ten projects using Jenkins, combined with management of a custom Kubernetes cluster hosted on Hetzner across nine namespaces, showed systematic thinking about deployment, reliability, and cost that supported company operations and customer-facing services.

Final Words

Battimiello’s leadership record also includes earlier roles at Netcom Group, where he served as development team lead from October 2020 to September 2021, mentoring cross-functional teams of up to six members while helping them resolve bottlenecks, refine workflows, and meet demanding project milestones. He influenced the process and technical outcomes by guiding the design and implementation of an apprenticeship management application using Java, Spring Framework, Angular, and MySQL, which delivered secure JWT-based authentication and enhanced interactive mapping through Leaflet. Improvements to the backend REST microservices for a mobility project, utilizing Java, Spring Framework, and MySQL, resulted in a 55 percent performance gain and improved scalability. This outcome highlighted his ability to optimize systems while coordinating team efforts.

Earlier work as a full-stack developer at Netcom Group, between November 2017 and October 2020, demonstrated Battimiello’s ability to navigate public administration, healthcare, and cultural projects while maintaining a focus on measurable outcomes. He built a dashboard for automated test results that increased error identification by 62 percent through clearer visibility into test performance. He developed healthcare applications for blood disease projects and full-stack web solutions on the Liferay platform for public authorities, streamlining processes and supporting more effective user engagement in institutional contexts. His portfolio also includes native android applications for museums using Java and TensorFlow, together with an admin panel that managed visitor check-ins and tablet battery monitoring in real time via websocket technologies, and this work highlighted his ability to improve visitor experience and operational control; Alex Sterling, spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards, summarized the decision succinctly when he said that “Ivan Battimiello represents a high level of technical mastery and leadership” and that “his ability to build secure, scalable systems while guiding teams across international environments explains why he has earned this recognition.”
