Oleksiy Stashok is a seasoned software engineer with 14 years of experience building scalable backend systems and distributed infrastructure, currently based in San Jose and working at Google. His career spans major engineering roles at Google (multiple tenures), Tesla, Oracle, and startups, demonstrating deep expertise in Java, Scala, concurrency, and container technologies. Oleksiy has hands-on cryptography experience from open-source contributions to PyKMIP, where he added AES-GCM support and improved cryptographic test coverage—an indicator of both security awareness and low-level protocol competence. He combines long-term enterprise experience (Oracle’s Grizzly NIO and container projects) with startup agility from mobile and ad-tech roles, enabling quick iterations without sacrificing robustness. Known for tackling tricky concurrency and networking problems, he brings practical knowledge of multithreading, NIO, and cloud-native tooling to production systems. With formal training in computer science from Kyiv institutions, he pairs strong theoretical foundations with decades of production-hardened engineering.
