Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrei Cherkashin is a Staff Engineer with 16+ years building high‑load distributed systems across gaming and mobility, currently based in Hamburg. He designs and scales microservices platforms (Java/Kotlin, C# .NET) and has repeatedly delivered production systems from scratch—most notably FREENOW’s Micromobility Platform of 15+ services serving millions and a micromobility provider-aggregation API that halved integration time. He led large technical migrations (Java→Kotlin), implemented cost‑saving algorithms like taxi‑pooling, and engineered backend infrastructures for both consumer games and mobile services. As a founder/CEO of Nightless Games he combined systems-level networking (reliable UDP, P2P) with cloud-native backends (K8s, Kafka) and secured public funding and conference showcases. Comfortable leading small teams and rolling up his sleeves, he blends deep performance optimization experience (400% map tile speedup) with pragmatic product delivery.
