I’ve been programming since Internet reached our little village in Eastern Europe.
During school I become that pure math programmer archetype who preferred watching his feet over others eyes 🤷
Lucked out many times - and I thank many folks. My parents, brother, teachers and many peers
My career in Big World^TM career began at
Google, where I worked on web search infrastructure, optimizing performance and cost.
BIG change for me. BUT after a while I desired to become more than a small slow gear in that giant machine ⚙️.
I then joined
Robinhood as their 60th employee and been there through IPO and after.
What a ride! Very fond memories ❤️
During my time there I become a core contributor to several critical backend services such as trading and money movement infrastructures. Made the news too #dumpsterfire.
Next, I kept with FinTech at ex-Robinhood founded
Parafin, where I led the migration of our complex communications infrastructure.
Also improved loan servicing logic, and payment systems ✉️💸.
Most recently, I started exploring how is it to build systems end-to-end from ground-up. Now it is the time - as so many tools to make it easy! Right? 🧠
Well, first we attempted to build an
AI voice-note product with
Katka Sabo.
Learned some, now trying again with something much smaller. Let's see 👀
