Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKonstantin Sharlaimov is a senior software engineer and security-focused cloud CISO with over 25 years in technology, combining deep embedded-systems and avionics expertise with large-scale cloud reliability and security practice. He architects and drives automated, production-grade remediations at Google scale while previously leading flight-control architecture for an all-electric aircraft, evidencing comfort across both hardware-constrained and hyperscale environments. His open-source contributions to influential flight-controller projects like Betaflight, Cleanflight and INAV show hands-on firmware, sensor-integration and front-end configurator work that improved real-world UAV reliability. Known for translating complex security policy into scalable engineering solutions, he bridges ML/infra SRE, site reliability and security remediation teams to make systemic risks operationally irrelevant. Based in Zurich, he pairs a Master of Engineering in IT with a rare cross-domain fluency—electronics to cloud—that makes him equally at home debugging an ARM microcontroller or designing resilient cloud controls.
