Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Zotov is a principal software engineer and team lead with 11+ years designing high-load, event-driven systems across FinTech, Aviation, and Multimedia. He specializes in migrating monoliths to cloud-native microservices and building resilient architectures—CQRS, actor models, and proprietary frameworks using Kafka, Cassandra, and Spring Boot—while running services on GCP and Kubernetes. At BUX he authored core libraries (elasticActors, CQRS persistent layers) and led migrations that improved availability and observability for real-time trading; at True Engineering he slashed latencies and streamlined a 50-service ticketing landscape. As a leader he pairs hands-on architecture with talent processes: mentoring, hiring frameworks, and strict CI/CD and testing practices to scale teams reliably. Based in Amsterdam, he blends deep Java/Spring expertise with a practical infrastructure focus, and habitually turns messy legacy systems into predictable, production-grade platforms.
