Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatija Gobec is a seasoned software leader and co-founder currently serving as CTO in San Jose with 11 years of hands-on experience building distributed, data-intensive systems. He blends deep engineering expertise in Apache Cassandra, Spark, and large-scale automation with a background spanning embedded communication protocols, security, and medical/IoT devices. Matija has led cross-product data engineering teams at FireEye/Mandiant and drove Cassandra-focused consulting and open-source tooling through SmartCat.io, including diagnostic and migration tools. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and manager (recently at Google), he emphasizes code quality, CI/CD, virtualization and reproducible builds.
