Victor Buldakov is a seasoned software engineer and former CTO with 11 years of experience building scalable systems across startups and hyperscale platforms. He has led and shipped critical backend and real-time infrastructure work at Meta (across Core Data, Spark AR, and WhatsApp) and co-founded Meander to drive product and engineering direction. Victor’s experience spans pub/sub and reactive cache invalidation systems, high-scale transaction processing, and AR rendering — a blend of low-latency systems and developer-facing tooling. Now at Mapbox in London, he continues to focus on mapping and infrastructure challenges for global products. Colleagues would note his pattern of moving between deep engineering hands-on work and technical leadership, plus a knack for turning research-grade ideas (like language-embedded reactive caching) into production services. He holds a Specialist degree in Computer Science from KSTU and has a track record of shipping high-impact systems used by millions.
