Petr R.

I help companies design, scale, and optimize their cloud-native platforms so they run faster, more reliably, and at a lower cost. With 18 years of backend engineering experience, I specialize in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and real-time data processing.

If your team is struggling with rising cloud bills, latency bottlenecks, or the complexity of Kubernetes and service-to-service integrations, I can step in and deliver practical solutions. At Dott, I optimized telemetry pipelines for 200k+ vehicles, saving over €100K per year in cloud costs, doubling throughput, and cutting latency by 50%. I also migrated critical services with zero downtime to GKE, redesigned telemetry storage using Bigtable + Pub/Sub (reducing DB costs by 75%), and built out monitoring/alerting with Grafana, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry for full visibility.

I’m equally comfortable building new backend services from scratch as I am auditing existing systems to identify cost savings and performance improvements. Typical projects I take on include:

• Cloud cost optimization (GCP/AWS)

• Distributed system & architecture design

• Zero-downtime migrations to Kubernetes

• Backend development in Go & TypeScript

• Monitoring, observability & incident readiness

• Mentoring & interview prep for engineering teams

What sets me apart is my ability to not only solve urgent technical challenges but also to transfer that knowledge to your team. Whether it’s through hands-on collaboration, code reviews, or mentoring juniors, I make sure improvements last long after my engagement ends.
