Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichal Zerola is an expert software engineer with over a decade of experience designing and architecting cloud-native systems for Deutsche Börse, where he progressed from hands-on developer work to leading risk-product architecture. His background spans distributed systems, messaging middleware (AMQP/JMS), automation, CI/CD and containerization, grounded in a PhD in distributed systems and practical HPC/grid experience from high-energy physics collaborations. Michal has a track record of building integration layers, monitoring tooling and optimization for large-scale, low-latency infrastructures and has applied academic-style rigor to production problems. Based in Prague, he combines deep systems-level knowledge (C/C++, Java, Python) with a pragmatic focus on measurable success and operational reliability. An often-overlooked strength is his early work in scientific collaborations and logistics optimization, which honed his skills in distributed data access and cost-aware planning.
