Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAdam Chelminski is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building scalable backend systems and leading full-stack teams, currently driving product delivery at Synthesia in Copenhagen. He has deep expertise in cloud infrastructure for AI-driven media—designing services that serve photorealistic avatar synthesis, streaming voice engines, Chromium-based video rendering, and CRDT-backed real-time collaboration. Prior roles at MongoDB saw him architect mobile-to-cloud synchronization, storage-optimizing history compaction algorithms, and SDKs that powered large-scale device fleets. Adam combines hands-on engineering (C++/backend systems early in his career) with people leadership, having transitioned teams and onboarded managers while retaining technical ownership. He’s comfortable translating research-grade ML systems into production services used by major brands, and he has a track record of simplifying complex distributed problems into pragmatic, cost-conscious solutions. A Columbia CS graduate, he also has experience teaching technical topics to non-technical audiences, reflecting an ability to communicate complex ideas clearly.
