Mike Mozhaev is a pragmatic engineering leader and team lead based in Limassol, Cyprus, with 11 years of experience building high-performance infrastructure and backend systems. He brings deep hands-on expertise in Go and Rust, focusing on observability and blockchain integrations—evidenced by Prometheus metrics work for the notable NuCypher project and contributions tied to staking and on-chain monitoring. At Neutron Foundation he leads core development, and his prior roles at P2P.org, Lido, and other fintech and gaming shops show a consistent track record of shipping reliable production systems. Mike pairs a Master’s in Information Technology with a developer-first management style, often diving into refactors and bug fixes himself rather than staying purely strategic. Colleagues appreciate that he blends low-level protocol familiarity with practical delivery, making complex decentralized infrastructure observable and maintainable.
