Mikhail Bakulin is an engineering leader with 11 years of experience building maritime and ship-tracking systems, now heading Ship Tracking engineering at Kpler from Luxembourg. He progressed through technical and managerial roles at Spire—moving from senior infrastructure engineer to Engineering Director—demonstrating a strong blend of backend, DevOps, and team leadership. His background spans high-throughput Go services and distributed systems developed across startups and enterprise teams in Europe. Trained as a physicist (Master’s in kinetic phenomena), he brings a data-driven, analytical approach to product engineering and algorithmic challenges in maritime intelligence. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on director who still contributes to architecture and reliability work rather than purely managing from above. Outside of work he maintains a public portfolio site, signaling an ongoing commitment to craft and professional visibility.
