Juri Gavšin is a Principal Software Engineer based in Tallinn with 12+ years of hands-on experience building large-scale systems at Bolt, where he progressed from Commerce Tech Lead to principal engineering roles. He combines deep polyglot programming skills (C#, Java, PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript, C++, SQL) with a background in robotics research and a PhD-level understanding of biorobotics, bringing a researcher's rigor to production engineering. His career spans startups and enterprise environments, delivering backend architectures and integrations at companies like Kuehne + Nagel and Karanar while maintaining early roots in full-stack PHP and database work. Known for translating complex algorithms into reliable, maintainable software, he bridges academic research and real-world commerce systems. Colleagues rely on him for technical leadership, system design, and mentoring across distributed teams. An unusual strength is his ability to pair robotics experimentation experience with pragmatic software architecture, enabling innovative problem solving in commerce and logistics domains.
