Summary
Eligijus Vitkauskas is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building pragmatic, high-performance backend systems in Python and Go from Vilnius, Lithuania. He excels at simplifying complex problems and driving thoughtful architectural choices, advocating against "microservices by default" in favor of clarity, developer experience, and speed of delivery. His recent work includes leading the replacement of a legacy data-collection service with a simpler, more observable and performant solution at carVertical and shipping an MVP ERP in Go at Sykell. At NFQ he modernized critical catalog services for home24, cutting response times and hosting costs substantially, and earlier introduced continuous delivery practices and an open-source CLI while at OXID. Comfortable across the full delivery lifecycle, he combines hands-on coding, deployment ownership, and a product-minded approach to shipping reliable systems. He’s particularly skilled at knowing when to resist fashionable complexity and instead deliver lean, maintainable solutions that scale with teams.
