Summary
Andrey Bulgakov is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years building scalable backend systems and cloud-native platforms, currently driving engineering at Variational Research from Coquitlam, BC. He has deep experience in distributed systems and infrastructure—refactoring Kubernetes-native hosting components at Teleport and solving state invalidation at multi-terabyte scale while at Twilio/Segment. A pragmatic owner who takes projects end-to-end, he’s shipped reverse-ETL and batch/realtime data processing pipelines, authored design docs, and deployed via Terraform and CI/CD. Early-career founding roles honed his low-level performance chops (including C extensions for Python) and Linux ops expertise, so he blends systems-level optimization with product-focused delivery. Notably, he remains open to roles outside US/Canada permanent-residency constraints, bringing a global, hands-on engineering perspective.
