Mykhailo Naumenko is building production systems for autonomous and public transportation.

At BitCtrl Systems, he worked on ABSOLUT II, a Level 4 autonomous shuttle project in Germany, developing key parts of the Technical Supervision system used to support live autonomous vehicle operations. His work brings together real-time vehicle telemetry, environment models, video streams, maps, and 3D visualization into an operational control room where human supervisors can understand vehicle state, assess exceptional situations, and support safety-relevant maneuver workflows.

Beyond autonomous driving, Mykhailo took product and engineering responsibility across five of seven functional domains in SIAS ÖV, BitCtrl’s public-transport software platform, and contributed to distributed data infrastructure connecting vehicles, backend systems, and operational applications through real-time event pipelines.

His engineering focus is the part of distributed systems that becomes difficult in the physical world: stale and out-of-order data, unreliable connectivity, event consistency, command safety, high-frequency visualization, and designing software operators can trust when the underlying system is imperfect.

His work spans TypeScript, React, Python, Kafka, MQTT, ROS 2/DDS, and Three.js, with a broader focus on autonomous systems, real-time distributed architectures, and human-in-the-loop operations.

Mykhailo is also a WeAreDevelopers speaker, sharing engineering lessons from building software where digital state directly affects decisions about physical machines.
