We were finally able to put Putti’s true control tower in front of the camera!
In our latest episode of Launch Time, we’re pulling back the curtain to spotlight someone who’s usually deep in the engine room: Ivan. He’s been with Putti for nearly 10 years, quietly building the foundations of the apps, ERPs, and software we bring to life. And today, he’s stepping up to the mic for the very first time.
Ivan’s role may be “behind the scenes,” but his work is anything but boring. He’s the architect of the databases that power the platforms we build. His job? Making sure your app runs smoothly, securely, and is built to scale from day one. Think: data protection, structure, logic—and making sure the dev team always has something to do (his words, not ours 😄).
Whether you’re a tech-savvy founder or just starting with a concept, Ivan breaks it down in simple terms—plus shares some great advice on how to get started the right way.

3 Nuggets of Backend Wisdom
Q: What’s the most important thing a customer should bring before development starts?
A: “Mostly, what kind of information do they want to manipulate. What they want to store or collect from users. That defines the structure of the database and how everything else flows.”
Q: What’s your advice to someone with just an idea, trying to build a tech product?
A: “Just give it a try. If you fail, try again. If you fail again, find someone who knows how to do it and ask.”
The Man Behind the Backend
Ivan’s been with us for nearly 10 years. He designs databases, prevents crashes and leaks, and ensures every developer has something to do. All while sailing, cooking like a pro, and yes, often working barefoot.
Definitely, Ivan is one of the reasons the Putti projects launched successfully.
