Top SchoolAlexander Gololobov is a Principal Software Engineer with 15 years of experience specializing in distributed systems, big data, scalability, system programming, and performance engineering. He currently helps drive core development at ClickHouse after a long tenure at Yandex where he led teams building Yandex Database and data storage/processing infrastructure. His background includes performance-critical work on SQL Server storage at Microsoft and kernel-level test automation, reflecting deep systems and storage expertise from OS to distributed databases. Based in Amsterdam and trained at MIPT in applied math and computer science, he blends rigorous academic foundations with pragmatic engineering. Colleagues value his ability to translate large-scale performance requirements into robust, low-level implementations and operationally efficient architectures.
