Ruta is a backend software engineer and has had the privilege of working across a variety of industries, from investment banking to early-stage startups and scaling tech companies. Along the way, she has learned to change, adapt, and thrive in fast-paced environments (kind of like a pit stop, but with fewer tire changes!).

Currently, working at ComplyAdvantage, Ruta focuses on fraud and AML risk detection, where she leads everything from complex event-driven aggregation systems to collaborating with frontend teams on user-facing products. 

Aside from building products, Ruta is all about improving the developer experience, which has become her passion over the last number of years. That’s when she discovered GenAI tools and their potential to supercharge productivity and developer satisfaction—think of them as the turbo boost for your code.

When Ruta isn’t debugging or optimizing systems, you’ll find her watching Formula One (the energy of the crowd, seeing Hamilton cross the finish line in Silverstone last year is a core memory), bringing out her creative side through dressmaking and cosplay, and looking for ways to bring a little extra flair to her engineering. She has even joined a Google Cloud GenAI hackathon last year—partially to join the Formula E pitlane walk (don’t judge, it’s a dream)—but also to see firsthand how GenAI is reshaping engineering.

Ruta’s goal is to develop resilient, scalable products that don’t just get the job done, but to build these systems faster, and with a little more style—because why shouldn’t engineering be fun?
