Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKonstantina Skovola is a software engineer based in Switzerland with five years' experience, currently working on infrastructure at CERN. She specializes in backend and database engineering, contributing significant bug fixes and improvements to TimescaleDB — a widely used open-source time-series database extension for PostgreSQL — including work on continuous aggregates, compression, ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS semantics, and retention-policy logging. An active open-source contributor and former Google Summer of Code student with the PostgreSQL Global Development Group, she blends community-driven development with production-grade engineering. She holds an MEng in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens and completed an Erasmus exchange at KTH, giving her a strong systems and ECE foundation. Her work demonstrates a keen attention to correctness and performance in real-time analytics systems, a thread that carries into her work on research-scale infrastructure at CERN.
