Summary
Alex Mihov is a back-end developer with 11 years of experience building high-performance, cloud-native microservices and a deep focus on blockchain and Web3 systems. He has a proven track record of optimizing latency and throughput—most notably redesigning a Golang rate-limiter to cut p99 latency from ~30ms to under ~5ms while doubling RPS capacity—alongside practical experience with Kubernetes, gRPC, Kafka and in-memory caching. Alex blends hands-on engineering (Dockerized Go/Python services, web sockets, smart contracts) with product-minded delivery from his co-founder days, where he led small teams and managed multiple concurrent projects. Based in Sofia, he currently contributes to SSV Labs after impactful roles at ConsenSys and LimeChain, and he often leverages indexing tools like TheGraph to make blockchain data queryable and actionable in near real-time.
