Summary
Rastislav Kisel is a Senior Software Engineer in London with nine years of experience building high-throughput distributed systems, ML infrastructure, and secure cloud platforms. He has led end-to-end design and migrations for mission-critical data ingestion and feature-store projects that handle tens of thousands of requests per second and power multiple ML products. At Abnormal Security he drove company-wide initiatives from email platform standardization to multi-million-dollar AWS cost optimizations, while earlier roles at Monzo and ESET saw him deliver production-safe database migrations, international payments for businesses, and Kubernetes/Istio-based cloud services. A hands-on mentor and technical leader, he blends deep systems engineering with product-focused thinking and an economics background that helps him balance technical trade-offs against business impact. Not obvious from his title: he describes himself playfully as a “computer whisperer,” reflecting a practical knack for untangling complex system behaviors.
