Summary
Orlin Georgiev is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in reliability, distributed systems, and developer tooling, currently working on Site Reliability Engineering for Google Drive in Zurich. He has a track record of shipping high-impact platform projects—from automating emergency traffic drains and cross-datacenter backup/restore strategies to introducing service startup/shutdown monitoring with Google-wide impact. Previously he improved search result relevance and knowledge panel freshness at Google Search using ML and embedding techniques, and led Android TV emulator revitalization and Play Store integration as a tech lead. Comfortable across backend, mobile and ML-adjacent work, he still pursues curiosity projects (e.g., a 20% effort to extract structured training data and detect hallucinations for a Transformer-based LLM). Known for turning neglected systems into maintained, testable products, he combines deep engineering rigor with practical operational thinking.
