Top SchoolKristóf Baján is a Staff Engineer with a decade of experience designing and operating scalable, fault-tolerant systems across cloud-native stacks. He has driven end-to-end platform development—from rebuilding an IPaaS ecosystem in TypeScript and Node.js to reducing operational costs by up to 30% through reimagined AWS Lambda and EKS architectures. Equally comfortable in backend, infrastructure and frontend concerns, he has built SDKs, CLIs in Go, real-time analytics UIs in Vue.js and CI/CD pipelines to enable zero-downtime delivery. Known as a fast learner who continuously improves tooling and processes, he has repeatedly achieved high availability (99.9%) while serving diverse business needs. Based in Székesfehérvár, Hungary, Kristóf pairs an industrial design background with pragmatic engineering, often surfacing usability and developer-experience improvements that aren’t obvious from code alone.
