Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdil Akhter is a Staff Engineer and functional-programming advocate with 15+ years building large-scale, fault-tolerant data and ML platforms across companies like Adevinta, eBay, and ING. He leads self-serve, cloud-native stream-processing and lakehouse initiatives that process hundreds of billions of events monthly and serve over 100M users, while optimizing JVM performance and deployment pipelines at scale. As a hands-on technical leader and founder of Systemantics, he combines platform strategy, data mesh and MLOps execution to shorten time-to-production for ML models from months to weeks. He programs primarily in Scala and the Typelevel ecosystem (cats-effect, ZIO), authors open-source projects (e.g., Kafka BigQuery Express, Baker, SDL OData), and frequently speaks at international conferences on FP, streaming, and ML engineering. He’s equally focused on people and community—organizing local meetups and embedding engineering DNA to accelerate adoption of advanced AI. A lesser-known strength is his preference for formal, type-driven design (Haskell/F# influence) to keep complex distributed systems predictable and maintainable.
