Top SchoolMatthias Reik is a seasoned software leader and system architect with 13+ years of experience building and managing large distributed engineering organizations, now Head of Software Development at Tesco Technology Hungary and founder of JEMS Solutions. He combines deep hands-on expertise in C++, Java and Perl—shaped by early work on constrained embedded platforms like Symbian—with modern backend and streaming systems including Kafka, Hadoop/HBase and RabbitMQ. Matthias has a proven track record of rescuing and modernizing legacy systems ("Give Legacy a Future") while scaling teams of 70+ across multiple geographies and fostering inclusive cultures focused on D&I&B. Equally comfortable in technical design and in the boardroom, he brings strong consultancy, budgeting and negotiation skills to align engineering with customer and business needs. Noteworthy is his history driving ingest and streaming components at Cloudera and leading crawler and content-aggregation platforms at Meltwater, reflecting a rare blend of systems-level architecture and data ingestion expertise. Based in Budapest, he continually sharpens both technical and managerial craft while advising clients through his consultancy.
