Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJan Petr is a seasoned backend engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable systems, currently focused on Go-based platforms that optimize logistics and manufacturing processes. He brings hands-on expertise in cloud-native architectures (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes), serverless patterns, and APIs (REST/GraphQL), honed at companies like Algolia, Wereldo, Pex, and Better Stack. At Algolia he grew an open-source Magento integration from early maintenance to driving substantial ARR growth and later moved into analytics and data-pipeline work in Go. Comfortable bridging technical work and stakeholder communication, he’s known for fixing tricky compatibility and indexing edge cases in production integrations. Based in Brno, Czechia, Jan pairs pragmatic engineering with a collaborative mindset and a track record of shipping reliable backend services under real-world constraints. An often-overlooked strength is his cross-stack fluency—from PHP-era e‑commerce integrations to modern Go microservices—which helps him tame legacy systems while moving teams forward.
