Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichal Augustýn is a Lead Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building and operating resilient backend systems, currently designing and running internal threat-lab infrastructure for Avast/AVG from Prague. He is a polyglot developer comfortable in Scala, Java, C#/.NET and Python, with hands-on experience in databases like Postgres and Cassandra and running microservices in Docker and Kubernetes. Michal combines deep production ownership (on-call duty, CI/CD automation with TeamCity Kotlin DSL and Octopus) with a strong open-source footprint, contributing performance and robustness fixes to projects such as http4s and the well-used cassandra-unit testing utility. His background spans large-scale content systems serving hundreds of millions of clients to low-level embedded and graphics engine work, reflecting a rare mix of systems-level attention to detail and pragmatic product delivery. He also pursued Catalan language studies alongside technical work, signaling a curious mind that follows interests beyond engineering.
