Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSasha Solganik is a seasoned engineering leader and senior developer with 15 years of experience building high-performance systems in C, C++, Python and Go, currently shaping eBPF and Kubernetes-based tooling at Upwind Security. He has led R&D teams of ~20 across multiple scrum teams, driving a shift to microservices, eventual consistency at scale, and rigorous CI/QA practices while remaining hands-on in core development. His background spans kernel and networking work (DPDK, nvme-tcp, Linux kernel drivers) through cloud and distributed infrastructure design, giving him deep expertise in both low-level performance and large-scale backend architecture. Sasha combines technical breadth—from virtualization and storage to messaging and orchestration—with proven people leadership in hiring, mentoring and roadmap planning. Based in Israel, he brings a pragmatic focus on shipping scalable, production-grade systems and a knack for translating complex client needs into robust integrations. An often-overlooked strength is his history of bridging kernel-level innovations with user-space service design, enabling end-to-end optimizations that few managers can both specify and implement.
