Senior🎓
Top SchoolVladimir Slav is a senior software engineer with 12 years of cross-domain experience building production systems in trading, games, and embedded software from Latvia. He currently architects high-frequency trading bots in Rust and PostgreSQL and previously led automated capital management and exchange integrations in Python. As founder and principal of Coldwild Games he managed a seven-person studio, shipped multiple commercial titles (100k+ and 30k+ copies) and handled product, marketing and hiring—bringing a rare operator’s perspective to engineering decisions. His background spans low-level C/C++ embedded work, release engineering and performance tuning, plus web and backend stacks (PHP, C#, Git) and data-mining systems. Comfortable in both Scrum and Kanban environments, he combines discipline in system architecture with hands-on coding across the stack. Notably, he shifts seamlessly between building latency-sensitive trading infrastructure and managing creative game products, a blend that fuels pragmatic, performance-oriented solutions.
