Top SchoolAleksei Zotov is a Senior Principal Software Engineer based in Waterloo, Ontario, with six years of focused experience architecting scalable data platforms and low-latency systems. He has progressed through hands-on and leadership roles at Grid Dynamics, BigDatix, Jump Ramp and MobilityWare before joining Blue Yonder, bringing deep operational and architectural expertise in Cassandra, Hadoop ecosystems, AWS and real-time streaming. An Apache Cassandra committer, Aleksei blends core distributed-systems contributions with practical delivery—designing tracking systems, inventory and reporting pipelines, and custom frameworks for data processing. Known for mentoring teams and running internal BigData training programs, he pairs developer ergonomics with production reliability. A detail that often goes unnoticed: his background spans both JVM-based service development and infrastructure-level patches to open-source datastore code, giving him rare end-to-end fluency in large-scale data engineering.
