Senior🎓
Top SchoolΖiλa S is an Executive Staff Engineer specializing in builder platforms and SRE with 13 years of experience designing high-performance, cloud-native distributed systems and leading autonomous, cross-functional teams. He combines deep low-level expertise—storage, I/O, networking, concurrency, and GPGPU—with pragmatic SRE practices to ship scalable microservices and runtime systems that treat performance as a first-class feature. His career spans senior roles at Trendyol, Zalando, Microsoft and HERE, driving large-scale architecture and reliability improvements across geographies. An active OSS contributor, he implemented performant serializers and cross-platform Firebase tooling in notable repos, and his engineering roots trace back to a college compiler project targeting PIC microcontrollers. Based in Berlin, he pairs hands-on systems hacking (Rust, C++, Go, Swift) with strong interpersonal skills to unblock complex, cross-team initiatives.
