Summary
Ales Omerzel is a pragmatic backend software engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable, cloud-native services and a top-scoring Master's background in Mathematics and Computer Science. He spent more than four years at Amazon AWS designing event-driven and multi-partition systems, migrating legacy services to AWS-native infrastructure and driving reliability through CI/CD, monitoring and on-call ownership. Adept in Java, Kotlin, Python and Go, he has hands-on expertise with Kubernetes, CDK/CloudFormation/Helm, Lambda/Fargate/ECS/EKS and a wide range of databases and caching technologies. He has also delivered cross-cloud migrations, multi-region deployments and LLM integrations for startups, showing both systems-level rigor and product-minded engineering. Ales mentors engineers, interviews candidates, and combines strong academic foundations with measurable operational impact—his earlier work cut system load by 80% and accelerated payment integrations by 75%. Based in Berlin and open for full-time roles, he brings a rare mix of deep backend craftsmanship and cloud architecture experience.
