Mikhail Murzin is a seasoned Head of Software Engineering with over 14 years of professional experience and 20+ years of C++ expertise building performance-sensitive networking, embedded, and distributed systems that run in millions of devices. He specializes in low-level, high-throughput infrastructure—embedded Linux, network OS components, telemetry frameworks, and resource-constrained automotive systems—combining hands-on debugging and optimization with architecture and large-codebase refactoring. His work spans BlackBerry, Cisco, Ford, Rakuten Kobo and startups, delivering MISRA/AUTOSAR-compliant automotive telemetry, GNMI-based network management, and embedded reader firmware at scale. Comfortable both close to the metal and leading teams, he mentors engineers to sustain momentum through technical debt and high-load incidents. An early hacker who started on a ZX Spectrum, he still prototypes embedded projects, mobile apps and developer tools outside work, reflecting a persistent curiosity for hardware-adjacent software.
