Livian is an engineer and product leader with over 10 years of experience delivering software across complex, cross-functional teams. At Uvation he sits on both sides of the product — shaping roadmaps and priorities while leading the engineering work that delivers them. His blended technical and business background allows him to translate company objectives into working software without losing sight of either side.
Engineering Depth & Product Judgment
Livian’s career spans full-stack development, quality engineering, and product management — a combination that lets him move between architecture decisions and roadmap decisions without changing gears. He has led products serving millions of daily users, defined roadmaps alongside executive leadership, and built the technical foundations those roadmaps depend on. This dual perspective means technical trade-offs are framed in business terms, and business goals reach the team as something buildable.
Leading Product & Engineering at Uvation
At Uvation, Livian leads a European engineering team and owns product direction across the platforms they build. He sets the engineering standards, review workflows, and release practices the team works to, and coordinates delivery across globally distributed teams. His focus is on making delivery predictable — clear ownership, clean escalation paths, and releases that ship with confidence rather than hope.
Quality as a First Principle
Having spent much of his career as a principal engineer in quality and automation, Livian treats reliability as a product characteristic rather than a final phase. He has established testing lifecycles, CI/CD pipelines, and automation architectures across fintech, e-commerce, and high-traffic content platforms — consistently improving both release stability and delivery speed. That discipline carries into everything Uvation ships.
Building for the People Who Use It
Livian grounds product decisions in user research, funnel analysis, and behavioural data rather than assumption. He has redesigned core user journeys to reduce churn, restructured onboarding to lift conversion, and turned research findings into prioritised, shippable work. Backgrounds in computer science and psychology inform how he thinks about both the systems and the people using them.
Leadership & Collaboration
Livian leads by setting a clear technical direction and then giving people the room to own their work within it. He mentors engineers, drives collaboration between development, QA, design, and business stakeholders, and communicates directly with executive leadership — keeping teams aligned on what matters and why.
