Summary
Fabian Gerhardt is a Software Development Engineer II based in Berlin with 12 years of experience building performant, reliable systems across industry and research. He combines strong theoretical foundations in algorithms, database and graph theory, and logic with hands-on experience shipping production features at AWS and MOIA, including a Rust simulator that improved ride-pooling and a SQL rewriter project. Fabian has a track record of pragmatic performance engineering—doubling simulation speed, eliminating failing runs by fixing Kubernetes, and migrating CI/CD to GitHub Actions—alongside published research from his master’s work on query evaluation. Comfortable across Scala, Rust, React and cloud-native environments, he thrives at the intersection of theory and systems engineering to turn complex ideas into efficient, production-ready software.
