I build and lead world-class software and solutions engineering teams specializing in distributed systems and products designed to support hyper-scale environments. I spent the last decade architecting and developing solutions to various software and infrastructure problems with significant business impacts. My background is a mix of software development (distributed systems, backend, big data), data storage systems (databases, messaging buses), and talent management/development (mentoring, career, and performance management, etc.). This background helps me to autonomously plan and effectively execute short-lived as well as multi-year projects, including those with regulatory and compliance challenges (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, PCI). data-driven approach, identifying problems that do not need solving, preparing the strategy and roadmap, and leading the technical journey throughout the product lifecycle. Keyword stuff: cloud environments (Google Cloud Platform, Azure, AWS), microservices and containers (Docker and Kubernetes), object-oriented and functional software development, messaging systems (Kafka, PubSub), and big data and data lakes. On top of it, I am very passionate about DevOps, machine learning, and sushi . ©
