Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMaksim Filippov is a software engineering leader based in London with 16+ years of hands-on experience building and scaling systems across healthcare, fintech, legal tech, and large-scale events. He blends deep full-stack expertise—React, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, Elixir, Rust—and cloud-native architectures on AWS/GCP with a track record of delivering mission-critical platforms that handle millions of transactions. Notable projects include architecting a healthcare claims system processing $40M weekly and delivering the Paris 2024 Olympic mapping platform on a constrained £2M budget. He has led product-focused engineering teams for marketplaces, courier networks, and merchant portals in emerging African markets, and designed AI-powered legal tech features for email, case tracking, and video conferencing. A former engineer, team lead and CTO who studied physics and CS at MSU and HSE, he combines rigorous analytical training with a passion for mentoring and building resilient engineering cultures. Less obvious: he moves fluidly between low-level systems work (Rust, distributed systems) and user-facing product delivery, making him equally comfortable optimizing latency or shipping polished UIs.
