Senior🎓
Top SchoolEli Boyarski is a Principal Software Engineer with 12 years of experience blending algorithmic research and production engineering, currently leading AI and infrastructure efforts at Palo Alto Networks. A Ph.D. candidate under Ariel Felner and Roni Stern, he advanced multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) solvers and published across IJCAI, AAAI, ICAPS and SoCS, submitting his dissertation in 2023. He has deep systems and backend pedigree from VAST Data and Consumer Physics, owning low-overhead logging, metrics, and build systems as well as factory-scale backend integrations. More recently he built ML and data orchestration infrastructure using pgvector/Postgres, Dagster and Kubernetes, bridging research-grade algorithms with production ML stacks. An avid refactorer and open-source contributor, he improved the popular python-midi library with clearer abstractions and slicing features, reflecting a focus on code clarity and long-term maintainability. Colleagues describe him as someone who moves smoothly between theoretical algorithmic advances and pragmatic engineering trade-offs to ship scalable, robust systems.
