Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikita Tomilov is a Senior Backend Engineer based in Munich with nine years of experience building JVM-based microservices and distributed systems using Kotlin, Java and Spring. He brings deep experience across SQL and NoSQL stores (Oracle, Postgres, Cassandra, Neo4j) and messaging (RabbitMQ), and pairs high-level backend design with a genuine passion for low-level programming and Java performance tuning. His background includes R&D at Siemens and production backend work at CHECK24, plus embedded Linux/STM32 contributions to the widely used ArduPilot project, where he improved CAN/UAVCAN integration. A heavy Linux/Git user, Nikita has broadened his toolset with Go and written several thoughtful pet projects—an awk clone, a custom VCS, a DI framework for Go, and a Kotlin/JavaFX messenger—that reveal a pragmatic tinkerer who moves comfortably between systems and application-level concerns. Academically strong (top grades from ITMO, PhD work in computing systems) he blends rigorous engineering with hands-on implementation.

Contributions summary:Nikita contributed significantly to the CAN bus communication and UAVCAN protocol implementation within the ArduPilot project, particularly focusing on Linux HAL. They refactored CAN-related code, renaming classes and interfaces, and added features such as limiting the iterations in the pollRead function, and adding default interface names. Furthermore, they implemented UAVCAN-based LED control and multiple compass support, enhancing the system's integration with UAVCAN devices.
