Alex Mikhailov
Senior Platform Engineer
Haifa District, Israel
Summary
👤
SeniorAlex Mikhailov is a Senior Platform Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building reliable, data-driven systems, primarily in Scala. He has designed distributed systems such as a Kafka- and Akka-based chat platform and a specialized toolset for car penetration testing that stores CAN data on S3/Elasticsearch with a custom query language and visualizations. At Samsung Food he progressed from full-stack to infrastructure and now focuses on data source reliability and instrumentation for food-tech platforms. Pragmatic and database-agnostic, he favors ES, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and ClickHouse, and prefers gRPC/Proto and Thrift for RPC and serialization. FP-curious and aspiring to Rust and security operations, he blends functional-programming sensibilities with practical platform engineering. Off the clock he’s known to favor cream—an understated hint at a careful, detail-minded personality.
