What I'm looking for

I’m looking for challenging projects where I can build reliable, well-tested data pipelines and warehouses, improve performance and SLAs, and keep driving continuous improvement through monitoring, governance, and knowledge sharing.

I’m a Senior Data Engineer focused on building and optimizing large-scale data delivery pipelines and data warehouses. I combine batch and real-time processing on cloud platforms with strong data engineering fundamentals like data governance and testing (unit, canonical, end-to-end).

At VK, I built end-to-end resource monitoring for a YTSaurus pool, including metric collection, data marts, and aggregation across time, users, operations, and tables. I also ran a consumption audit and drove optimizations for CPU-intensive recurring jobs, improving efficiency at both the pool and individual pipeline levels.

At Yandex, I designed, developed, and maintained data supply pipelines for batch processing and real-time delivery. I implemented solutions with monitoring and testing, improved data mart usage by 70%, and reduced average SLA by about 3 hours at daily scale.

I’m especially driven by reliability, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement—authored company-wide guides on SQL code style and query optimization, mentored engineers, and supported highly available data infrastructure across multiple platforms. I’m eager to take on challenging projects where I can keep raising the bar for data quality and performance.
