Summary
Dejan Menges is a Staff Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience architecting and optimizing large-scale cloud systems, focused on zero-outage, high-availability solutions. He blends deep Unix/Linux administration and kernel-level tuning with hands-on automation and deployment engineering to drive resilient enterprise cloud configurations. Dejan has led release engineering and platform reliability efforts at companies like Wayfair and Vinted, and has built cloud infrastructure and CI/CD tooling from scratch in startups and early-stage environments. He is as comfortable tuning Hadoop/HBase clusters for five-nines uptime as scripting deployment pipelines that reduce operational surface area. Known for mentoring engineers and reading documentation with a skeptical eye, he pairs pragmatic engineering with continuous improvement. An avid problem solver, he recently co-founded a startup driven by personal interest (and pull-requests) in improving golf technique, showing his habit of turning curiosity into small product bets.
