Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Kozlovsky is a researcher and seasoned software engineer with 20 years' experience specializing in SQL, DBMS and Python, currently working at Delft University of Technology on the privacy-focused Tribler decentralized BitTorrent client. He blends deep database expertise and backend/DevOps know-how—improving build processes, database upgrade speed and error handling for large open-source systems—with hands-on contributions to GUI integration and robust shutdown/logging behaviors. His background spans founding a database-related startup (ponyorm.com), leading cloud-native function development at Yandex, and architecting production systems using Go, Docker and observability tooling. A former lecturer in database systems, he brings both practical production experience and academic rigor to distributed data problems. Based in Delft, he quietly focuses on performance and reliability trade-offs that surface only under real-world, long-running P2P workloads.
