Top SchoolMargus Kerma is a seasoned technology leader and CTO based in Tallinn with 11 years of professional experience building and scaling cloud-native platforms and engineering organizations. He has progressed from hands-on engineering and systems architecture roles at Skype and Microsoft to senior leadership positions including Director of Engineering, VP of Engineering, and now CTO at Monerium, driving platform architecture, observability, and secure cloud infrastructure. Margus combines practical platform-building (React, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS/GCP) with strong people leadership—hiring, mentoring engineering managers, and restructuring teams for reliable delivery. He also operates as a Fractional CTO, advising early-stage founders on technical due diligence, security practices, and scalable architecture, which reflects a pragmatic blend of strategy and execution.
