Summary
Boris Tang is a Principal Distributed Systems Consultant with 15+ years of experience designing and modernizing high-throughput, low-latency backend platforms, currently advising Azerion on DSP and SSP bidding infrastructure. He specializes in real-time decision engines, event-driven streaming pipelines, and cloud-native migrations, having led rewrites to Go that enabled systems to sustain 200K+ QPS with sub-30ms P99 latencies. Boris combines hands-on performance engineering with cost-conscious architecture—he halved a DSP’s AWS bill while preserving latency and throughput—and has repeatedly turned batch analytics into real-time insights measured in seconds rather than hours. Comfortable leading small engineering teams, he brings deep expertise in Kafka/Flink, Kubernetes/Terraform, observability, and operational resilience for mission-critical systems. Based in Stockholm and operating as an independent consultant, he seeks senior engagements where scale, determinism, and latency are the primary constraints.
