Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBoris Feld is a Senior Product Engineer (AI) with 15 years of hands-on experience building Python-first, distributed systems and developer tooling, currently shaping AI product and SDK work at Comet. A long-time open-source evangelist and prolific contributor, he has improved projects like Pylint, Circus, PyJWT and Dulwich—often fixing platform-specific test flakiness and shipping robust CI/QA improvements. His background spans full-stack and DevOps responsibilities from SaltStack UIs to containerized ML infrastructure, and he repeatedly bridges SDK design, integrations, and deployment pipelines. Comfortable leading teams and sprints, he pairs deep Python expertise with practical experience in MongoDB, ZeroMQ, CI/CD and observability, and he often releases small utilities that address real developer pain points. Based in Strasbourg, he combines community-facing teaching and lightning talks with engineering rigor, making him as effective in documentation and developer experience as in core code.
