Sergey Bykov

Sergey Bykov was one of the founders of the Orleans project at Microsoft Research and continued to lead its development for over a decade. Before joining Research Sergey had worked in several Microsoft product groups, from BizTalk and Host Integration Server to embedded operating systems for Point of Sale terminals to Bing. The mediocre state of developer tools for cloud services and distributed systems at the time inspired him to join the Orleans project to qualitatively improve developer productivity in that area. Recently Sergey joined Temporal Technologies to continue his quest to liberate developers from writing mundane code.
