Top SchoolAhmed Soliman is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building and operating data-intensive, real-time streaming platforms. He has driven Flink infrastructure and stream-processing reliability at Yelp and now works on real-time streaming at Chainlink Labs, combining deep backend and DevOps skills. Ahmed has led end-to-end platform projects—autotuning Flink jobs, automated snapshots, version migrations, and Kubernetes migrations at scale—while mentoring engineers and running a technical mentorship program. He contributes to open platforms like Yelp/paasta, extending Flink monitoring and status tooling, showing a knack for making distributed systems more observable and debuggable. Based in the UK, he pairs production-first pragmatism with a researcher’s curiosity from early data science work, often surfacing non-obvious operational improvements that reduce incident surface area.
