Kirill Makhonin is a Platform Architect with 15+ years of experience designing and scaling AI/ML, computer vision, and high-load distributed systems, currently building a production AI platform in the NYC area. He combines hands-on engineering in Python, Go, Kubernetes, Terraform/Terragrunt and AWS with technical leadership—shaping platform standards, security protocols, and observability to enable teams to deliver at scale. Kirill has led large migrations (3+ PB of data, 2+ billion records) and zero-downtime cutovers, designed password-less S2S/M2S security mechanisms, and drove enterprise integrations that turned prototypes into regulated, revenue-generating products. He’s comfortable across cloud and on-prem hybrid environments and has a track record of reducing operational cost and MTTD through pragmatic architecture. Less obvious: his background ranges from low-latency C++ systems and IoT/robotics to full-stack web ticketing, giving him rare fluency across hardware-adjacent and cloud-native platforms.
