Top SchoolDavor Poldrugo is a software engineer and co-founder with 11+ years designing and operating production data pipelines, real-time analytics, and distributed systems. He led a shift from SQL-batch to stream-oriented architectures, architected cross–data-center replication and self-service aggregation platforms, and has been shaping data strategy and products at Infobip. A contributor to Apache Kafka and an experienced conference speaker, he blends hands‑on engineering (Kotlin/Java, Kafka, Druid, Storm) with product ownership and LeSS-style team leadership. Notably, he built large-scale real-time ingestion and query systems processing tens of millions of events daily and helped monetize storage through metadata solutions.
