Summary
Rastislav Kanda is an engineering manager with nine years of progressive software engineering experience at Kiwi.com, growing from intern to manager while remaining hands-on in building scalable services. Based in Brno, he blends technical depth—Python, async patterns, PostgreSQL, Celery, Docker—from early Slackbot work with leadership of cross-functional teams since 2020. He is known for persistence and a pragmatic approach to turning draft prototypes into production-grade systems and for coaching engineers through that transition. Rastislav’s continuous tenure at a single fast-moving travel tech company gives him deep product and domain knowledge of high-throughput, reliability-focused platforms. He pairs a formal IT education from Brno University of Technology with a bias for shipping and iterative improvement. Colleagues would describe him as quietly determined, curious about new computer science ideas, and effective at scaling both code and teams.
