Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmir Moulavi is a seasoned software engineer based in Zurich with 15+ years building and optimizing distributed, cloud-native systems across companies from Mojang and Klarna to Google. He specializes in scalability, resilience and performance—having architected Minecraft Realms, tuned large Erlang monoliths with Mnesia/LevelDB, and improved cost and autoscaling strategies for AWS services. At Klarna he owned end-to-end system performance work (load testing, profiling and bottleneck remediation), and at Mojang he balanced latency, availability and cost for a globally used service. A long-time practitioner of functional programming and distributed-systems research (MSc in SEDS), Amir also contributes to open-source documentation for major projects like Akka, improving clarity for developers. He blends hands-on systems engineering with practical operational instincts, often surfacing non-obvious optimizations that reduce cloud spend and improve reliability.
