Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMihai Todor is a Software Infrastructure Engineer with 11+ years building and scaling cloud-agnostic, microservice and data-streaming systems, currently working at EMBL-EBI and consulting for genomics-focused startups. A Go-focused engineer with deep C++ roots and fluency across Python and Rust, he designs resilient Kubernetes-native platforms and champions pragmatic Open Source—he’s a long-term contributor to the Benthos stream processor and has improved Avro and Redpanda integrations. Mihai combines hands-on implementation (storage integrations, monitoring stacks, serverless batch systems) with technical leadership, mentoring, and meetup-organising in the Dublin/Cambridge tech scenes. Unusually for a senior engineer, he declines live coding interviews and prefers thoughtful, offline technical assessments and architecture-driven discussions. He’s now steering his software expertise toward computational biology and ageing research, blending production-grade systems thinking with domain curiosity.
