Oleg Taykalo is an engineering manager based in Amsterdam with over 16 years of programming experience and more than a decade leading architecture and teams. He has shepherded large-scale transformations such as migrating an e‑commerce monolith to a data-driven microservice cloud architecture and orchestrating a 1200 TB photo migration using Akka.net and AWS services. Oleg blends systems-level thinking in C#, Python and functional languages (Erlang, Haskell, Scheme) with hands-on delivery of high-throughput platforms — including a load tester pushing 20K transactions/sec. He excels at cloud-native design, functional programming and infusing deep learning pragmatism into product engineering. Known for pragmatic technical leadership, he pairs rigorous performance engineering with agile team coaching to turn complex requirements into reliable production systems. An uncommon strength is his comfort moving between low-level concurrency concerns and strategic architecture decisions, making him effective both as a coder and as a manager.
