Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSakis Kaliakoudas is an engineering manager and hands-on mobile expert with 11 years of experience building and scaling mobile products, backend services, and cloud infrastructure from startup to enterprise. He has led teams as large as 70, tripled mobile teams at Babylon while instituting release trains, modularization, and open-sourced tooling, and later co-founded Caribou to bring visibility to engineering work. Comfortable across Android, Kotlin, serverless architectures, and AWS, he pairs technical ownership (e.g., building Kotlin/GraalVM APIs and CI/CD for Caribou) with people leadership and hiring at scale. He favors establishing culture and processes early to sustain rapid growth, and has repeatedly improved testing, security, and build performance in production apps. Based in London, he blends product curiosity with operational rigor and still prefers to stay deeply technical even in senior roles. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of turning internal engineering practices into public assets that accelerate hiring and onboarding.
