Grigorii Merkushev is a Head of Software based in Barcelona with a decade of experience delivering full lifecycle web and distributed systems using PHP, Go, Node.js and React. He combines hands-on engineering with team leadership, having progressed from hands-on roles to leading software at Uptime Industries after senior engineering work at New Relic on open-source infrastructure and telemetry projects. Grigorii excels at building microservices, event-driven systems and CI/CD pipelines—frequently using Docker, RabbitMQ, Redis and GitLab/GitHub Actions to move ideas into production reliably. He has a strong front-end background with React/Redux and practical TypeScript use when project timelines allow, which helps him bridge product and platform concerns. Notably, he has driven migrations from legacy monoliths to Symfony microservices and contributed to New Relic’s infrastructure-agent and OpenTelemetry release efforts. His pragmatic focus on automation and maintainability makes him effective at shipping complex systems that scale.
