Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrejs Stepanovs is a senior software engineer based in Berlin with over 18 years of hands-on experience building backend systems, APIs, and cloud-native infrastructure. He brings deep pragmatic expertise across Go, Python, PHP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform and a wide range of datastores and message systems, with a strong preference for Linux-driven solutions. At Zalando he has combined production engineering with applied AI work—building agent-based tooling for investigations, code review and automation—and leads practical team transformations that shifted delivery toward weekly shipping. His background spans large-scale integrations, event-driven architectures (Nakadi, RabbitMQ), and DevOps automation for clients like Infineon, demonstrating an unusual comfort with both long-lived enterprise systems and experimental side projects. He’s methodical, accountable, and unafraid to ask basic questions or take responsibility, and in his spare time prototypes generative-AI agents, voiced storytelling apps and mobile tools that prioritize privacy and no-ads. With an MSc in Computer Science, he blends systems-level thinking with a bias for shipping useful, maintainable solutions.
