Summary
Martin Taranza is a pragmatic engineering leader and VP of R&D with 11 years of professional experience building reliable, distributed systems and developer-friendly Linux applications. He favors functional and strongly typed languages (Erlang, Haskell, Clojure, Rust) and has deep operational experience across Erlang/OTP, FoundationDB, large-scale query systems and SUSE/Red Hat Linux ecosystems. At Scrive he progressed from developer to VP/R&D, combining hands-on coding with technical leadership in production-critical services; earlier roles include core Erlang work at Klarna and research-oriented programming at Seznam.cz. Martin prizes immutability as a guiding principle, applies hardware and firmware insight from past manufacturing work, and brings an unusual mix of creativity—he’s also a guitarist, WingTsun practitioner and blacksmith—to problem solving and tooling design.
