Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolValentin Golev is a pragmatic software engineer specializing in machine learning infrastructure and site reliability with 16 years of experience helping early-stage startups move fast and established teams modernize legacy systems. He favors leveraging cloud-managed services (especially AWS) to trade cost for development agility, and enjoys building developer-friendly tooling so researchers, front-end teams and non-technical stakeholders can focus on their work while maintenance stays with him. Valentin has a track record as a founding engineer and entrepreneur—he prototyped, launched and sold Uploadcare—and later served as consulting CTO and SRE across diverse organisations from nonprofits to scaleups. He prefers incremental, low-risk improvements over large rewrites, often transforming brittle, inapproachable codebases into maintainable systems novices can work with. Based in Berlin, he blends hands-on engineering, architecture and AI integration, making him a reliable bridge between research prototypes and production-grade services.
