Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTheodoros Orfanidis is a technical lead and seasoned backend-focused engineer with 14 years building and modernizing web platforms across startups and scale-ups. He combines deep Ruby on Rails expertise with recent hands-on work in Go and TypeScript, and a pragmatic preference for deleting unnecessary code and automating CI/CD and testing workflows. He has led migrations off monoliths, introduced trunk-based development and CI/CD, and cut integration failures by 90% through reliability and modularization efforts. As a founder/CTO he shipped payment, booking and analytics systems end-to-end, and as an engineering lead he improved hiring, testing, and cloud infrastructure to both speed delivery and reduce costs. Comfortable on Linux with Vim and Docker, he favors practical, high-velocity engineering trade-offs and quickly adapts to new languages and codebases. Based in Amsterdam, he pairs entrepreneurial experience with a track record of turning legacy systems into scalable, production-ready services.
