Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolViktor Cherkaskyi is an empathetic software engineering manager and founder with 13+ years of hands-on experience building scalable data- and AI-driven systems, predominantly in Java and Scala with Python for ML work. He has transitioned from a deep individual contributor—optimising ETLs, productionising similarity models and cutting lengthy Spark jobs down to hours—to leading multidisciplinary teams at Zalando and startups, focusing on product delivery, mentoring and cross-team strategy. Viktor combines strong engineering craft (distributed systems, ML inference, Kubernetes, FAISS) with a data-informed product mindset and a deliberate emphasis on design and maintainability. He also co-founded AI and finance startups, signalling an entrepreneurial drive to apply technical leverage beyond individual contribution. A constant learner who deliberately shifted from personal peak performance to “scaling out” via leadership, he brings rare empathy plus rigorous technical reasoning to complex product problems.
