Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNick Vyzas is an infrastructure and data platform engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable systems for SaaS, fintech, and gaming companies from Greece. He brings deep hands-on expertise across MySQL, ClickHouse, Postgres, MongoDB and the surrounding cloud-native stack—Kubernetes, Python, Terraform, Ansible—and focuses on observability and runbook-grade deployments so systems don't wake people at night. Lately he’s concentrated on AI infrastructure, owning the data pipelines, orchestration, and observability layers that make models production-ready rather than treating models as standalone experiments. An active contributor to the ProxySQL project, he has solved low-level database proxy issues including IPv6 support and GTID-consistent reads by modifying core C++ components and schema definitions. Practical, detail-oriented, and operations-first, he combines a developer’s curiosity with an engineer’s obsession for dependable production behavior.
