Andrii Kushch is a Senior Software Engineer based in Munich with nine years of professional software experience and a decade-long background bridging networking, security, and application development. He has shipped cloud-native microservices and platform components at Sixt (notably DriveNow and SIXT share) and later focused on observability tooling at Instana/IBM, contributing to the go-tracer and OpenTelemetry integrations. At IBM he built an AST-based automation tool to instrument customer code and a virtualized E2E test environment—both examples of turning developer productivity and testing complexity into repeatable infrastructure. Now at Grafana Labs he continues to work on scalable backend systems while mentoring teams and improving delivery processes. An early Cisco instructor and self-driving car enthusiast with Udacity nanodegrees, he uniquely combines networking/security roots with hands-on Go open-source contributions (including improvements to the popular go-redis client tests) and production-grade distributed systems experience.
