Summary
Orestes Polyzos is a Head of Software Engineering with nine years' experience building cloud-native, compliant healthcare platforms and high-scale telco and fintech backends. He architects and leads delivery for multi-service AWS deployments, event-driven systems with Kafka, and CI/CD-enabled teams, driving SOC2/HIPAA compliance and real-world integrations with FHIR/HL7. Equally comfortable in Java/Spring Boot as in Python, Node.js and TypeScript, he pairs pragmatic engineering with cost-effective infrastructure design using Kubernetes and Terraform. He has a track record of shipping production systems used by millions (MagentaTV) and enabling surgical care workflows across France and the US, and he intentionally learns outside his comfort zone to pick up new tools and languages. Based in Athens, he balances hands-on technical leadership with mentorship and operational rigor, and outside work you’ll likely find him cycling or swimming.
