Top SchoolMichael Gamov is a Senior Software Engineer with over 14 years of hands-on experience building high-throughput, data-intensive Java backends and performance-critical systems. He has designed and led production systems handling hundreds of terabytes and 100k+ QPS, notably architecting a realtime-bidding platform that scaled to billions of daily requests. A pragmatic T-shaped engineer, he blends deep backend, DevOps and profiling expertise (GC tuning, async-profiler) with a taste for functional programming and machine learning experiments. Michael excels at mentoring and technical leadership for small teams, driving greenfield initiatives, prototyping research ideas, and owning on-call reliability. He’s comfortable across heterogeneous storage stacks (MariaDB, Aerospike, ClickHouse) and distributed monolith architectures, and is known for turning operational constraints into engineering improvements. Based in Saarbrücken, he pairs a product-oriented mindset with curiosity that often leads him to explore ML and FP techniques beyond his core Java domain.
