Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Beták is a Director of R&D (Backend) and distributed systems specialist with 13 years of experience building and leading mixed teams of Haskell and Java/Kotlin engineers. He combines deep functional-programming expertise (Haskell, Scala, Rust) with practical systems know-how in NoSQL, messaging, Kafka and Redis, having implemented high-throughput, lock-free algorithms and Redis modules in production. At Scrive he moved from hands-on Haskell development to leading backend R&D and eSign products, while earlier contributions at Red Hat and NetSuite span virtualization (oVirt/vdsm), API and migration work, and cryptographic microservices. An active open-source contributor, he has improved core virtualization backends and live-migration features and authored production-grade changes across large distributed stacks. Collected academic grounding from Masaryk University underpins a pragmatic approach to designing fault-tolerant systems and incremental, backwards-compatible migrations.
