Gregori Kanatzidis is a Principal Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable e-commerce and platform systems, currently shaping architecture at Yum! Brands. With a BS in Mathematics and a strong applied-math background, he combines analytical rigor with hands-on engineering, favoring Rust for systems work while relying on JavaScript/Node.js for product delivery. He’s led GraphQL schema design and backend teams for Pizza Hut-affiliated projects, driving integrations between brand partners and platform engineers. As an entrepreneur and former CTO/co‑founder, he has built high-throughput data pipelines and full-stack products across startups and enterprise contexts. Gregori frequently moves between architecting complex systems and shipping practical tooling, and he has a knack for compressing large patent data workloads into efficient pipelines on modest hardware. Based in the United States, he brings product-first thinking to platform-scale engineering challenges.
