Top SchoolSzilard Raven is a hands-on Senior Software Engineer and engineering leader with 25 years of experience specialising in backend, full-stack and platform engineering across highly regulated industries such as finance and gambling. He has led teams of 5–16 engineers to deliver auditable, autoscaled cloud infrastructures, infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines that replaced brittle legacy systems and improved reliability and delivery speed.

Szilard is a practical mentor who has grown graduates into technical leads and runs regular code reviews and architecture sessions to de-risk projects early.
