Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Galkin is a Chief Software Architect with over a decade of hands-on experience designing scalable, high-performance systems for companies like Google, Tableau, and Microsoft. He combines deep backend expertise—distributed in-memory knowledge graphs, semi-structured search APIs, and ML/TPU performance modeling—with a pragmatic product focus on reducing third-party software costs using modern AI-assisted development. A history of shipping performance-critical features (external query caches, retrieval engines, and location extraction services processing billions of queries) shows he thrives on low-latency, high-throughput challenges. Now self-employed in New York, he consults and partners with teams building web APIs and apps, positioning himself as a cost-conscious alternative to incumbent vendors. Colleagues know him for translating complex research-grade problems into production-ready systems and for candid views on how coding LLMs reshape software economics.
