Summary
Maxim Bogdanov is a senior systems engineer specializing in distributed systems, databases, and high-throughput services, with over 11 years of professional experience and two decades of hands-on programming across Golang and Rust. He has architected and led large-scale event-driven platforms—RTB exchanges, analytics pipelines handling billions of events, and multi-tenant scanners—combining deep expertise in Kafka, ClickHouse/Bigtable, RocksDB and search engines with production Kubernetes and GitOps practices. As founder/CTO of an open-source product analytics project he implemented HTAP storage on Parquet/Arrow and custom query planners, reflecting a rare blend of systems internals and product-focused engineering. Currently building in Rust at Neon Labs after driving Golang/Rust projects at ProjectDiscovery, he’s comfortable owning everything from low-level storage to auth, observability and deployment. Colocated in Barcelona, he’s self-motivated and autonomous, often implementing bespoke databases and high-performance operators where off-the-shelf tools fall short.
