Romans Malinovskis is a Principal Platform Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience designing and delivering large-scale cloud-native platforms that serve hundreds of developers and executive stakeholders. He specialises in migrations, refactoring distributed systems, and turning early-stage projects into sustainable, low-TCO platforms across GCP and AWS, with measurable wins like halving cloud spend and cutting CI times by over 80%. A pragmatic RFC/ADR-driven architect, he blends technical governance, security/compliance ownership, and FinOps discipline while building teams, vendor relationships and hiring pipelines. Founder of Agile Toolkit and author of Agile Data and Agile Toolkit projects, he pairs deep open-source pedigree with a founder’s mindset and a track record of first-hire leadership on complex transformation programs. Based in London, he favours durable solutions designed to evolve over decades—what he calls “converting a 50-car locomotive to mono-rail.”
