Top SchoolVsevolod Potapov is a Principal Database Reliability Engineer with 15 years of experience building and operating high-performance, low-latency back-end systems for advertising and mobile platforms. He specializes in C++ and systems-level engineering—lock-free algorithms, epoll, Linux performance tuning—and has designed and run real-time auction engines and in-memory databases that serve production traffic at scale. As an engineering leader he has built and mentored cross-functional teams, instituted CI/CD, QA and monitoring practices, and drove availability improvements from 99.9% to 99.999% across complex distributed services. At KaiOS he learned Go on the job to architect core platform services for 150M+ devices in constrained environments, demonstrating a knack for pragmatic, resource-aware engineering. He combines deep distributed-systems knowledge (consistency models, Raft) with curiosity about blockchain and smart-contract tech, bridging low-level performance work with emerging decentralized paradigms. Based in Sydney, he excels at remote, cross-cultural collaboration and turning hard engineering constraints into robust, scalable products.
