Anatoliy Sokolov

As a full-stack software engineer at Blend Labs, I build scalable products that simplify digital mortgage closings and deliver measurable impact—like a title-check integration that unlocked $100K+ in new monthly revenue and cut on-call triage time by 90%. Promoted to Mid-Level Engineer in under a year, I lead initiatives across the full stack. I’ve launched event-driven borrower workflows that accelerated loan throughput and built unified PDF exports that improved post-processing efficiency by 5x. I also deployed real-time integrations with platforms like Encompass and implemented optimizations that reduced query latency from 300ms to under 30ms. Outside of Blend, I run Alpha-Code, a YouTube channel where I’ve published over 1,500 coding solutions across Java, Python, Go, and TypeScript—ranking in the top 0.1% of LeetCode contributors. My background as a Grandmaster in Starcraft II and a professional poker player honed my analytical thinking and high-pressure decision-making. My long-term goal is to grow into a Staff-level IC, driving architecture and mentoring across engineering teams. Let’s connect—whether you’re building something ambitious or want to exchange insights on tech, content creation, or game theory.
