Anatoly Bubenkov is a seasoned software leader and co-founder with 16 years of experience building backend systems, data pipelines and developer-focused tooling from Amsterdam. As CTO of Quriobot and Hugo Events he blends product-driven engineering with hands-on implementation—shaping architecture, CI/CD and observability while still contributing code. His background spans data engineering at findhotel.net (Redshift, Jenkins, Docker) and platform architecture at Paylogic, where he led open-source initiatives and continuous deployment efforts. A long-time Python contributor and QA-focused engineer, he has improved core pytest plugins (pytest, pytest-xdist, pytest-bdd) by refactoring, adding tests and enabling richer parametrization and distributed testing. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he often moves between high-level strategy and low-level test automation to keep systems both scalable and reliable.
