Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOleksii Samara is a hands-on Principal Software Architect and former CTO with 20+ years in production engineering, now based in Limassol, Cyprus, who still codes and leads platform strategy. He has repeatedly designed and delivered high-scale systems—from IoT platforms serving 1.5M devices and 100k+ daily users to microservices and serverless AI healthcare cores—while slashing infrastructure costs and accelerating inter-service communication. A proven team builder and mentor, he has promoted engineers into leadership, secured multi-client contracts through pragmatic architecture proposals, and founded startups to bring ideas to market. Comfortable across Python, Go, PHP and modern cloud-native toolchains (Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka), he pairs deep technical craft with business-facing judgment informed by an MBA. An interesting throughline: many of his architectures emphasize cost-efficiency at scale, achieving big throughput on modest budgets.
