Head of IT

Yuriy Shapovalov

Yuriy Shapovalov is a senior technology leader with 20+ years of experience building, operating, and securing mission-critical systems across enterprise, regulated, and high-growth environments. At Nomikos, he ensures the platform meets the standards that matter in production for legal teams and their IT counterparts: security by design, operational reliability, and controls that hold up under scrutiny. He brings a clear point of view to the work: black-box AI is not acceptable when oversight, auditability, and risk management are requirements, not preferences.

Across senior and principal roles—including Principal Software Engineer, Senior Solution Architect, CTO, CISO, and Head of IT & Development—Yuriy has led platforms where uptime, governance, and defensibility are non-negotiable. He has contributed to modernization and platform engineering initiatives at organizations such as Google, Microsoft, UBS, Goldman Sachs, and Barclays, spanning cloud transformation, distributed systems, and resilient operations. He is known for bridging architecture decisions and stakeholder confidence, translating security and reliability choices into answers enterprise teams can act on.

Yuriy specializes in cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, modern DevOps, and security-by-design, with deep experience across Azure and Google Cloud Platform. He has also helped build and scale startups, bringing a hands-on, execution-first mindset to engineering operations and delivery. The result is AI infrastructure that can be supervised, audited, and defended—answering the questions buyers care about most: Is it secure? Is it controllable? Will it scale? And can we trust it in production?
