Biography

Hello! I'm an engineering manager who has been working on commercial projects since 2010. Along the way I have been very lucky to learn from outstanding people and work with them on exciting projects:

  • helps to deliver and design Yandex Data Proc and Manged Database Services at Yandex Cloud
  • helped to scale a platform for gathering and data analysis from social media sites at Origami Logic
  • designed architecture and developed of white label service which establish interoperability with EETS Toll Charges Domains at Kapsch TrafficCom
  • helped to redesign and scale data processing pipeline for biotech start-up (GitHub)
  • helped to deliver outdoor and indoor lighting control system
  • helped to deliver access control and visitor management system

During my career I have been mostly focused on engineering and scaling of distributed data-intensive systems. In the past years I also got more opportunities to apply bits of my university background (economics, modeling, systems engineering, business continuity) to design, improve efficiency and reliability of large scale systems.

Interests

  • Distributed and data-intensive systems
  • Stream and batch data processing
  • Databases
