Summary
Tomas Sedlak is a Software Architect and Staff-level backend and data platform engineer with over a decade of experience designing and delivering scalable, cloud-native systems from Bratislava. He specializes in Java, Python and Rust and has built high-throughput data platforms using Apache Spark, Iceberg, Airflow and Kubernetes, as well as migrating legacy ETL to Databricks on AWS. Tomas blends hands-on engineering with infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform, Skaffold, Kustomize) and production-grade security (OAuth2, Authentik), routinely optimizing deployments for cost and performance. He has led microservices refactors, implemented Redis-backed behavioral detection engines, and architected a Rust cryptocurrency node that outperformed its OCaml predecessor. Comfortable moving between deep systems work and team leadership, he often owns both architecture and delivery while mentoring engineers. He combines a mechatronics MEng mindset with pragmatic cloud engineering, which shows in his attention to efficient data ingestion and metadata-driven lake designs.
