Top SchoolSimon Yakov is an AI Engineer and infrastructure-focused software leader with 14 years of experience architecting and operating large-scale, data-oriented systems across cloud and on-prem environments. He blends deep hands-on expertise (C#, Scala, Java, Python, Node.js) with proven DevOps/MLOps practice—designing cross-cloud job schedulers, CI/CD pipelines, and high-throughput data platforms backed by Kafka, Cassandra, Vertica and AWS services. Simon thrives on digging into how things work, from SSL handshakes to cluster performance, and has repeatedly turned high-level concepts into delivery plans while leading and mentoring small engineering teams. His background spans startups and product roles (MissingLink, Lightricks, Tabnine) where he bridged research and production for ML workloads, optimizing systems to handle billions of events. Practical, curious and meticulous about every line of code, he prefers the hardest scalability problems and building resilient distributed systems that make teams more productive.
