Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTiago Katcipis is a Principal Engineer with 16 years building distributed systems, cloud platforms and embedded software, now based in Berlin. He blends end-to-end ownership—from brainstorming and architecture to testing, deployment and monitoring—with a penchant for opening black boxes and making complex systems reliable at scale. His background includes leading platform expansion and automation (Kubernetes, Terraform, GHA) across multi-country rollouts, developing infrastructure tools and a production-grade location service, and creating Terramate and its language-aware tooling at Mineiros. A longtime open-source and testing advocate, he has contributed low-level test and mocking fixes to the widely used CppUTest project and enjoys exploring language design and ML as side projects. Colleagues describe him as curious and context-driven: he deliberately builds teams of people smarter than himself and treats engineering as a creative, collaborative craft.
