In 2GIS I work on core business logic of transport features related to routing and navigation: building routes, displaying them on the map, navigating the user towards the route destination. As it is the core business logic working on both Android and iOS, it is written in C++ and has tight requirements for performance, memory footprint and battery time. These limitations make my job quite interesting and challenging.

I came to Yandex in the hope to learn how to build truly massive distributed systems handling enormous amounts of data.My first team in Yandex was the one creating network disk drives for virtual machines running in Yandex.Cloud service. The project was essentially middleware between a block device driver of a virtual machine and a distributed database which actually stored the data. It was interesting but I wanted something even more exciting so when the opportunity showed up, I changed the project and went to work on a system of data streams processing which is used by a number of internal Yandex services.I learned a lot about building backends for distributed systems during this gig. Unfortunately I could not settle with the necessity to share the development with DevOps/on-call responsibilities as there were too much of the latter for my taste. So I chose to move on.

I started my career in Tbricks as a junior mathematician. Tbricks was building a product for professional traders and they needed one vital part - pricing. The part of the product that computes fair market prices for various financial instruments - such as futures and options with different exercise strategies. For me it felt like a good way to monetize my math skills acquired during my theoretical physics education. Equations of quantitative finance closely resemble the ones from fluid dynamics in physics.At first I created mathematical models for pricing of financial instruments in Mathcad which were then translated into the actual production C++ code by other developers. Eventually I started writing C++ code myself. And then as time moved on I took the responsibility over more global parts of the product which have way surpassed the area of mathematical models and by the end of my employment included a lot of things not connected to math at all.When I was hired, the department of quantitative analysts consisted of just two people - my direct superior and me. Over time we hired more and more engineers and I was often involved in the onboarding process. I wrote a lot of product documentation, both public and internal, that is still used to teach new hires the basics of the product, architecture, internal tools etc.My team in Itiviti was absolutely great but over the years I grew somewhat tired of some traits of financial industry so after much consideration I decided to pursue some new endeavours.
