Summary
Alex Belyaev is a Head of Server-Side Development with 13 years of experience building and leading teams that deliver scalable microservice architectures. Based in Tbilisi, he has driven backend work at LifeStream since 2014, specializing in Go, Python, gRPC and MongoDB to support high-throughput streaming services. He combines hands-on engineering—having moved from PHP/Symfony and MySQL early in his career to modern cloud-native stacks—with operational ownership of the full development lifecycle. Alex’s background in engineering and a Ph.D.-level study in economy and enterprise management gives him a pragmatic edge in aligning technical decisions with business needs. He is comfortable bridging legacy systems and new service-oriented designs and brings practical sales-engineering experience from his earlier technical-sales roles. Notably, his trajectory shows a steady shift from vendor-facing technical roles into senior backend leadership focused on resilient, service-oriented platforms.
