Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichal Švácha is a Staff Software Engineer and founder with 11+ years of experience building cloud-native, mobile, and distributed systems from prototype to production. He has led engineering teams through rapid scaling and M&A integrations, architected cost-optimized storage and CI/CD at Backbone, and migrated legacy distributed systems to Kubernetes on Google Cloud at Pixeesoft. A practitioner of user-first design, Michal pairs strong mobile (iOS/Android) and UX sensibilities with backend expertise in Kotlin, Spring Boot, Python and Terraform to deliver ZEN-like applications that ship frequently. He balances hands-on coding with organizational leadership—growing teams, automating infrastructure, and driving releases multiple times per day—while also contributing to accessibility and device-integrated products. Based in Geneva, he brings a rare combination of musical discipline (years as an associate concertmaster) and technical rigor that surfaces in elegant, user-centered architectures.
