Top SchoolJulius Zerwick is a systems-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building fault-tolerant, high-performance distributed systems and cloud infrastructure. He has driven major reliability and performance gains at DigitalOcean—reducing metadata service latency by orders of magnitude, eliminating recurring outages, and reclaiming over $500K through tooling for IP management. Comfortable across the stack, Julius has implemented microservices in Go, led migrations from bare metal to Kubernetes, and built integration pipelines and CI/CD on GCP and Terraform at startups. He mentors junior engineers, speaks on post-incident system improvement, and enjoys applying networking-level changes (like MTU optimization) to unlock real-world throughput gains. Based in New York, he pairs a physics background with relentless curiosity and a habit of continuous learning, often exploring open-source projects and side tools that tighten system security and latency.
