Olympia Kremmyda is a Senior R&D Software Engineer with over a decade of experience blending backend development and site reliability engineering across telecom and e-commerce domains. She has deep C/C++ and Ruby on Rails roots and has moved into cloud-native operations, leading AWS migrations and building GitOps-driven infrastructure with Terraform, Kubernetes, EKS/ECS, and Helm. Her background in virtualized telecom platforms at Nokia and hands-on work with Kafka, Elastic, Redis and databases gives her a strong systems-thinking approach to fault management and performance optimization. Olympia contributes to notable open-source Ruby tooling—improving HTTP stubbing behavior in the widely used webmock library—which reflects her attention to edge cases and testability. She also explores research topics like GPGPU parallel programming and heuristic optimization, bringing an experimental, data-driven mindset to production-grade systems. Based in Athens, she thrives at the intersection of R&D, operations, and developer tooling.
