About

Portrait of Martin Wišo

I am originally from Prague, Czech Republic and now based in Berlin, Germany. I have worked across enterprise and startup teams, helping products scale from early systems to production-critical platforms.

With 25+ years of engineering experience, I focus on distributed systems, reliability, and pragmatic delivery. I also contribute to open source and regularly share practical lessons from real-world systems work.

What I work on

  • Distributed systems design and production reliability
  • Performance tuning for APIs and backend services
  • Cloud-native platform engineering and operations
  • LLM/AI integration into real team workflows
  • Technical leadership, mentoring, and delivery

Core technologies: Erlang/OTP, Elixir, Go, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, REST APIs, distributed systems
