– Assembled a high-performing backend development team (7 developers of middle to senior levels). Implemented streamlined processes for task planning, decomposition and evaluation in order to achieve stable feature deliveryLanguages: C++, Go, Python, Lua– Executed cloud migration of all backend and frontend services from company's internal cloud infrastructure to a robust multi-region setup based on Amazon Web Services. This allowed to achieve reduced latency for the customers and full legal compliance– Played key role (both as a solution architect and an individual contributor) in the launch of two projects: fleet/rental management system (Yango.Drive Tech) and rental marketplace (Yango.Drive)

Leading backend development team at Yandex.Drive – Yandex' own carsharing service– Reassembled the backend development team after a loss of 60% of developers. Hired and trained over 10 developers over the course of 2 years. Set up regular workflow for task planning, decomposition and evaluation– Introduced an availability metric for the carsharing service, along with a variety of tools to work on stability: on-calls, easily set-up monitoring and alerting, company-wide post-mortems. As a result uptime was greatly improved from 97% to 99,96%– Moved from a monolith backend architecture to a hybrid one with the introduction of microservices, allowing for faster Time-to-Market for product features– Supervised (as a “playing coach”) several major product launches: long-term rentals, driver scoring system to enhance safety of the service, multiple drivers during a single rental, a carsharing solution for B2B customersLanguages: C++, Go, Python, Lua
