Summary
Boris Morris is a Principal Engineer with 11+ years building high-performance, distributed Java systems and leading teams through complex OLAP and streaming challenges. He has driven development of massively scalable platforms using Kafka, Cassandra and Kubernetes, and is an expert in JVM performance tuning from code to garbage collector and runtime. Boris architected and delivered reactive, asynchronous auction platforms (GWT frontend, RabbitMQ, Spring Boot) that have run multi-billion dollar spectrum auctions including the UK 4G auction that raised ~£2.3bn. Comfortable both as a hands‑on coder and technical leader, he blends rigorous TDD and reactive design with infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform, FluxCD) and modern Java (Java 21, Helidon). Based in London, he remains an active engineering community member and top Java contributor on Stack Overflow, continually learning and applying new patterns to push the boundaries of in‑memory multidimensional data processing.
