Senior🎓
Top SchoolAurimas Niekis is a CTO and serial founder with 11+ years of engineering experience, blending deep backend expertise with hands-on electronics and embedded systems design. He has led teams at startups and global firms (Baller, Sony Music, trivago) while building scalable big-data pipelines and researching asynchronous and parallel application architectures. Comfortable across a rare polyglot stack—C/C++, Go, PHP, Ruby, Elixir and more—he routinely marries custom open-source solutions to industrial IoT and ARM-based embedded platforms. As an active open-source supporter, he brings an engineer’s curiosity to product strategy, having moved between CEO/CTO roles and senior engineering posts to ship production systems at scale. Based in Vilnius, he combines mechatronics training with full-stack system architecture to solve both low-level hardware constraints and large-scale data challenges.
