Top SchoolDávid Szakállas is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer based in Prague with 12 years building and operating high-availability systems and data pipelines across public clouds. He designs SLOs/SLAs, region provisioning, observability and alerting pipelines, and writes internal tools to keep cloud-native storage and control planes resilient at Pure Storage. His background spans back-end Go services on Kubernetes, large-scale Spark data generation and optimization on EMR, and productionizing Spark/Databricks ETL with strong CI/CD and performance tuning.
