Arsene Gandote is a Senior Software Engineer and team lead based in South Cambridgeshire with over a decade of hands-on experience building distributed systems and microservices in Go, Scala and C#. He has led cross-functional teams and shipped production-critical services in finance, HR and payments, notably driving performance and observability improvements using OpenTelemetry, Jaeger and gRPC. Arsene combines deep backend architecture skills—authoring tooling like Chief-of-State and contributing protocol-buffer and actor improvements to the well-regarded protoactor-go project—with practical delivery as a Staff/Principal engineer and consultant. He has a proven track record of modernising legacy platforms with reactive architectures and cloud-native deployments, while mentoring engineers and improving hiring processes. Comfortable moving between design, code and operational concerns, he often bridges product and infra by integrating analytics and AI tools such as Snowplow and DocumentAI into pipelines. A mathematician by training, he brings analytical rigor to complex distributed problems and a knack for quietly fixing tricky protocol and generation bugs that unblock teams.
