Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniil Fedotov is a staff software engineer based in Montreal with 13 years of experience building large-scale, fault-tolerant distributed systems and cloud-native platforms across AWS, GCP, Azure and Kubernetes. He combines deep systems-level expertise in Erlang/Elixir and messaging (RabbitMQ ecosystem) with practical DevOps and CI/CD automation, having contributed to high-profile projects like Kubernetes test-infra and core RabbitMQ components. Daniil has a track record of improving reliability and recoverability—adding connection recovery, heartbeat handling, and robust test suites—to mission-critical messaging and storage systems. He moves fluidly between backend protocol work, storage and transport layers, and platform orchestration, and has helped productionize end-to-end encryption and identity services at Ockam. Notably, his open-source contributions span both language runtimes (Erlang/OTP) and widely used client libraries (php-amqplib, pika), reflecting a rare blend of low-level debugging and developer-facing improvements. He brings a pragmatic engineering mindset that emphasizes observable, testable systems and operability at scale.
