Mikhail Z is an experienced IT contractor and software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience across backend, middleware and embedded systems, currently applying Scala and Akka at PulsePoint. He spent the last six years focused on Java-based systems—designing and shipping backend, frontend and desktop code for finance and enterprise projects—and has led migrations, mentorship and technical documentation efforts. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs low-level firmware and MCU work with high-level distributed systems design, and prefers open-source, cross-platform tooling to achieve OS-agnostic solutions. Ambitious about functional programming, he is actively transitioning his skills toward FP languages and architectures for complex distributed systems. An analytical problem-solver with a Master’s in Computer Engineering, he brings a rare blend of embedded-hardware experience and pragmatic JVM/Scala production engineering.
