Summary
Michał Pieróg is a Senior Java Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building and optimizing high-throughput, data-intensive systems across fintech, HR SaaS, and event-streaming platforms. He has shaped architecture and performance for products at companies like Maxio, Keen (acquired by Chargify), and Pegasystems, with deep hands-on expertise in Java, Spring (WebFlux), Kafka, Cassandra, Elasticsearch and cloud-native tooling. Comfortable from design to performance testing and operational tuning, he repeatedly focuses on data platforms and real-time streaming solutions that power analytics and billing use cases. Based in the Cracow metro area, he pairs an M.Sc. in Applied Computer Science with a practical curiosity for emerging tech—often blending backend engineering with pragmatic system design and optimizations that aren’t immediately visible in product features.
