Dmitry Kankalovich

For fifteen years I was a one-man army: frontend, backend, DevOps, and infrastructure. I shipped whole solutions for enterprise clients across three continents.

Now I do the same work with agents, and I still tinker in my free time.

Principal Software Engineer, Endgame

2026 to now · Amsterdam, Netherlands

Endgame is an AI-native technology consultancy. It builds production software at speed for clients such as IKEA, ASML, Philips, ING, and Ahold Delhaize.

I own client delivery end to end: solution architecture, hands-on implementation, and technical leadership of the engagement team.

I also work on pre-sales. I scope what an engagement should be, and what it should cost, before anyone commits to building it.
