Top SchoolAndrey Galkin is an experienced backend and DevOps engineer with 12 years building resilient, performance-minded systems and leading small engineering teams through product and infrastructure maturation. As owner of CodingFuture and founder of FutoIn, he designs development processes, coaches teams, and delivers continuous deployment and scalable infrastructure solutions for diverse clients. He has deep hands-on expertise in monitoring (notably contributions to the widely used Netdata project adding TLS and new service modules) and in cross-platform build and release automation for complex C/C++ codebases, including cryptocurrency and embedded systems. His background spans application security (whiteCryption/ZIMPERIUM), payment and POS platform R&D, and full-stack contract work, showing an ability to move between low-level optimisation and high-level architecture. Based in Riga, Latvia, he pairs entrepreneurial initiative with pragmatic engineering—often creating tooling and processes that outlive individual projects. A less obvious strength is his habit of codifying best practices into reusable open-source reference implementations and documentation, reflecting a documentation-driven approach to software design.
