Summary
Michael Aleksiuk is a senior software engineer with 11 years of experience designing and shipping maintainable, extensible backend systems and full-stack clients, currently building resilient services at AllTrails. He specializes in composing traditional servers, AWS infrastructure, and third-party services to deliver reliable distributed systems, with deep hands-on experience in Kotlin, Ruby/Rails, Java, and AWS primitives like Kinesis, Lambda, DynamoDB, and IoT Core. Michael has repeatedly improved performance and scalability—e.g., increasing seat reservation throughput sixfold using Redis Lua scripts and removing DB contention—and has led cross-team integrations such as IAM-based authorization and reserved MQTT ingestion paths. Comfortable across mobile and web, he has built iOS and Android features and substantial client-side JavaScript, which helps him bridge product and infra effectively. With a B.Sc. in Pure and Applied Mathematics, he brings analytical rigor and a pragmatic, operational mindset honed by on-call rotations and production deployments.
