Summary
🤩
RockstarMichael Pevzner is a pragmatic software engineer based in San José, Costa Rica, with 13 years of experience building scalable web and distributed systems across startups and product companies. He brings deep Ruby on Rails and *nix roots combined with modern cloud-native practice, having architected data ingestion and stream-processing pipelines on GCP and managed 40+ CI/CD environments. Michael has hands-on experience across the full stack—from real-time video streaming with WebRTC and Python to React frontends and mobile backends—while driving performance, cost optimization and technical debt reduction. He has a track record of refactoring legacy monoliths into microservices, mentoring teams, and owning end-to-end infrastructure and security. Comfortable in production incident root-cause analysis, he quietly blends operational rigor with product-focused engineering to improve user experience at scale. An early adopter of pragmatic engineering practices, he often pairs low-level systems insight with cloud orchestration to squeeze extra efficiency out of deployments.
