Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManu Cupcic is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years building high-throughput, scalable systems and production ML pipelines across companies like Datadog, Criteo and WarpStream. He combines deep systems programming in Scala, Java, Python and C++ with a strong focus on data-driven product problems—designing low-latency storage and query backends for petabytes/trillions of events and SEM bidding engines. A pragmatic leader, he champions lean processes, CI/CD and developer tooling that accelerate teams while keeping code quality high. Manu’s hands-on background spans both research-adjacent work (MIT internship in brain and cognitive sciences) and large-scale operational engineering, which informs his knack for marrying mathematical rigor with production reliability. Based in Nantes, he now applies that blend of machine learning, distributed systems and developer ergonomics to build a Kafka-compatible streaming platform at WarpStream.
