Alexandr Eremin
@alexandreremin
I’m a backend C++/Go engineer focused on microservices observability and performance.
What I'm looking for
I build and maintain microservice infrastructure with a strong focus on observability. I started by implementing tracing for internal microservices at Yandex Cloud, choosing OpenTracing and Jaeger and integrating gRPC and Protobuf.
At Yandex Mail, I worked on a service responsible for sharding users across databases, added integration tests where they previously didn’t exist, and improved service error handling with error monitoring dashboards—also independently managing service deployments.
More recently, I developed a graph monitoring system for offline processes at Yandex Fantech, handled DevOps for services, optimized process performance, and created monitoring tools to improve stability. At VK Teams, I developed service observability and maintained microservice tracing infrastructure, and I also teach concurrency and computer systems courses at MIPT and HSE.
