Kostiantyn Gitko built his career in a very different environment. Before starting his own company, he worked inside large systems where reliability was expected every day. That experience still shapes how he approaches business.
He began as a software engineer and gradually moved into leadership roles, managing infrastructure, teams, and operations. Today, he leads Devox Software and works with clients across the US and Europe. The goal is straightforward: build systems that work and keep them stable as they grow.
More founders are coming from similar backgrounds. Instead of focusing only on speed, they tend to think in terms of structure, long-term performance, and fewer surprises down the line.
From software engineering to leadership in large-scale IT environments
Early in his career, Kostiantyn moved past the code itself and started paying attention to how systems behave once they are in use.
That shift led him into CTO and CIO roles. At Ukrtransgaz, he worked with large infrastructure tied to a significant IT budget. Systems had to run consistently, and small issues could not be ignored because they often turned into bigger ones.
Work like that changes how you think. You learn to plan ahead and avoid quick fixes that create more problems later.
At Infopulse, his role grew broader. Alongside technology, he worked on improving how teams operated and supported the company’s growth to around 2,000 employees. He also helped build a software product division that grew to more than 130 engineers.
Over time, one thing became clear. When systems and processes are clear, teams move faster without extra pressure. When they are not, everything slows down.
Building Devox Software around structure, scale, and long-term growth
After years in enterprise roles, mr. Gitko started Devox Software.
The idea was simple. Many companies run into problems because their systems are difficult to scale or maintain. Adding more developers does not always solve that.
Devox focuses on building and improving systems that can support growth over time. That means fewer quick fixes and more attention to structure from the start.
The company now has more than 120 specialists and works with clients in the US and Europe. Its growth has been steady, which is exactly how it was intended.
Moving too quickly without structure tends to create problems later. A more measured approach makes it easier to keep things consistent.
Expanding into international markets and adapting to higher client expectations
As the company expanded internationally, expectations changed. Clients in the US, for example, expect clear communication, reliable timelines, and accountability. Meeting those expectations required adjustments in how projects were managed and how teams worked together.
Over time, the company adapted. The focus shifted toward consistency. What matters most is whether the work is delivered properly, regardless of where the team is based. That shift made it easier to operate across markets without adding unnecessary complexity.
Exploring product development beyond client services
Alongside client work, mr. Gitko has also explored product development, including a project called MyMonthlyCar. Product work comes with more uncertainty. Decisions often have to be made without complete information.
Even so, the same fundamentals still apply. Clear structure and solid foundations make growth easier to manage later. It is a different type of work, but it grows out of the same principles.
Applying a practical view to modern technology and system improvement
Kostiantyn’s interest in newer technologies comes from working with older systems. After years of improving existing infrastructure, it became clear that newer tools can make systems easier to manage and more flexible. The focus remains practical. The goal is to improve how things run, not to add unnecessary layers. He also writes about these topics through the Forbes Technology Council, sharing what he has seen in real projects and real teams.
How leadership experience shaped his approach to teams and operations
Moving into leadership required a different approach.Instead of focusing on individual output, the focus shifts to how teams work together. Clear processes and communication become more important over time.External challenges reinforced that point. Running a company during uncertain conditions, while based in Ukraine, required strong coordination and stability.
Those experiences led to a simple conclusion. When systems are clear, teams handle pressure better. When they are not, small issues can grow quickly.
Why his career reflects a broader shift in tech entrepreneurship
Kostiantyn’s path reflects a broader change in tech. More founders are coming from enterprise environments, where they have worked with complex systems and longer timelines. That experience tends to shape how they build.The focus is less on speed alone and more on making sure things continue to work as they grow. It is a quieter approach, but often a more stable one.
Continuing to build across services, products, and global markets
Today, Kostiantyn continues to lead Devox Software while working on new ideas in product development and system improvement. The approach has stayed consistent. Build carefully. Keep things clear. Focus on what works. There is no single moment that defines his career. It has developed step by step. In an industry that moves quickly, that kind of consistency often matters more than it seems.
