Spas Bojanov is a computer scientist and Member of Technical Staff at Cockroach Labs with nine years of industry experience building planet-scale, strongly consistent SQL databases. He combines a Carnegie Mellon master’s in mathematics with deep practical expertise in distributed computing, formal methods, semantic web technologies, and low-level systems programming in C/C++, Java, OCaml, and Python. Previously at Google he led warehouse-scale computing and data-center optimization efforts—improving serialization, compression, RPC performance and privacy engineering—while earlier roles focused on OWL entailment, static analysis for C/C++, and finite automata for knowledge extraction. Known for bridging rigorous formal techniques (model checking, SAT solving) with production systems, he brings a mathematically grounded approach to performance and correctness at scale. Based in New York, he pairs hands-on implementation with a knack for turning formal insights into faster, more reliable distributed systems.
