Summary
Tomasz Cejner is a Senior Backend Engineer with 14 years of experience building distributed systems and high-throughput services, currently helping Cloudinary serve billions of digital assets worldwide. He specializes in Go today but brings deep cross-language experience—from Java microservices and Kafka-based stream processing to mobile backends and native iOS—letting him bridge legacy ecosystems and modern cloud-native architectures. Comfortable splitting time between hands-on coding and team leadership, he has led small teams and driven architecture work at fast-growing product companies. Based in Kraków, Tomasz pairs pragmatic engineering with strong operational sense, having shipped systems in fintech, travel hospitality, recruitment SaaS, and large-scale media services. Unusually for a backend engineer, his academic background in cultural studies informs a user-aware approach to system design and communication across product teams.
