Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Chistyakov is a researcher and seasoned operations/performance engineer with 7 years of focused experience tuning high-traffic web services and building resilient infrastructure from St. Petersburg. After a software development career, he shifted into ops and performance work—migrating multi-terabyte databases to object storage, replacing monitoring stacks with Graphite/StatsD/Nagios, and converting CM tooling from Puppet to Ansible. He has hands-on backend experience in Go, led datacenter and cloud builds, and repeatedly delivered measurable performance gains for clients like Setup.ru and AdCamp.ru. Comfortable across roles from system admin to principal engineer and researcher, he blends academic rigor with pragmatic production fixes. A subtle strength is his history of rebuilding monitoring and deployment pipelines, showing a preference for observability-first and automation-driven operations.
