Senior🎓
Top SchoolGenc Tato is a senior software engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in distributed real-time systems, fog/edge computing, and cloud-native architectures. He holds a master's from VU Amsterdam and completed PhD research building a locality-aware overlay that enables microservice deployments to follow users across the Fog — a practical demo integrated with ShareLaTeX. His career spans research and production roles at Inria, Atos, Canonical and now Datadog, where he has implemented data lakes, led cloud migrations, and designed microservice platforms using Java, Python, PHP and .NET. Comfortable moving between hands-on engineering and system-level design, he combines academic rigor with operational governance and Kubernetes/Docker expertise. Based in Paris, he brings a knack for turning distributed-systems research into resilient, deployable solutions for real-world services. An understated detail: his PhD work focused not just on theory but on live document mobility across edge nodes, highlighting a practical bent toward latency-aware user experience.
