Summary
Axel Berardino is a backend engineer with 14 years of experience building real-time, large-scale location and infrastructure systems from startups to product-scale teams. He specializes in Rust-based backends, ScyllaDB optimizations, and real-time pipelines—having led migrations, authored low-latency services (including an SFU in Rust), and weathered 100x traffic spikes. At Zenly and Ten Ten he drove feature innovation around geolocation, real-time events and map-facing products, and at amo he focuses on location accuracy, sensor integration and platform reliability. His toolkit spans Kubernetes, gRPC, RedPanda/Kafka, Prometheus/Grafana and various datastores, with a consistent focus on performance and operational best practices. Beyond coding he’s taken on product, QA and hiring responsibilities in small teams and has taught computer science topics, reflecting strong communication and mentoring chops. Pragmatic and curious, he pairs deep systems-level expertise with an appetite for inventing practical solutions under tight constraints.
