Throughout her career, she has specialized in building planet-scale distributed systems infrastructure, leading zero-downtime migrations and developing critical systems for Google infrastructure. A dedicated contributor to the open-source community, she created Fleetbench and has been a core contributor to projects like Grafeas, Kritis, and Loom.

Her public talks focus on the complexities of zero-downtime migrations, performance engineering, and the design of robust distributed systems. Beyond the stage, she shapes the industry discourse as a Program Committee Co-Chair for QCon, Track Host, and a speaker coach.

Artistry & Performance

Aysylu’s professional rigor is mirrored in her lifelong dedication to the arts:

• Music: A classically trained concert pianist and graduate of an 8-year intensive music program. In addition to solo performances of Children's Album by Tchaikovsky and regional prizes in chamber music, she studied music composition and improvisation under the Prorector of the Kazan Conservatory Aleksandr Maklygin.

Academic Foundations

Aysylu holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, where she conducted research at CSAIL on compiler optimization and data race effects. Originally from Russia, she was a gold medalist for academic excellence and a national competitor in the Ecology Olympiad—the foundation for her career in public speaking and research presentation.

Currently based in New York City, Aysylu continues to bridge the gap between high-performance computing, distributed systems design, and creative expression.
