Eugene Slach is a senior software engineer and DevOps practitioner with 13 years building high-throughput, data-intensive systems and production tooling from Yerevan. He combines strong backend skills in Golang, Python and PHP with deep operational experience in Kubernetes, Docker and observability, and has led teams and projects as a CTO and Python team lead. At Altinity he contributes to critical ClickHouse ecosystem projects—improving backup reliability, storage integrations (GCS, Azure, SFTP) and operator monitoring—while earlier roles delivered monitoring and scaling for 1M DAU game infrastructure. Comfortable across databases (ClickHouse, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Vertica) and CI/CD, he often bridges development and ops to harden reliability and testability. His unconventional engineering background in hydraulics hints at a systems-thinking approach to flow, performance and resilience.
