Top SchoolTaras Hirnyk is a Senior Software Consultant based in Stockholm with over a decade of experience designing and shipping scalable backend systems across gaming, payments, and telecom domains.

Taras has led and scaled engineering teams, improved reliability of distributed systems with command-bus patterns and event-driven designs, and refactored real-time fraud and analytics cores for horizontal scale. Skilled in databases (Postgres, Redis, MongoDB), messaging (RabbitMQ), and networking (Juniper/Cisco), he’s equally comfortable integrating diverse third-party APIs and optimizing low-latency pipelines. Notably, his background in applied mathematics and parallel computing informs a methodical, performance-first approach to architecture and profiling.
