Summary
Denis Khurtin is a lead software engineer with 15 years of experience building large-scale data platforms and APIs, currently driving projects at Yandex Cloud. He combines deep Java expertise with Python and C/C++ skills to design ETL, data lake and streaming solutions (Hadoop, YT, Kafka/LogBroker) and has led fault-tolerant multi-datacenter data pipelines and analytics stacks at Yandex.Market. Comfortable across the stack, Denis brings production-focused tooling and CI/CD discipline (Jenkins, Chef, Maven, testing and static analysis suites) and a track record of integrating diverse storage and BI systems (ClickHouse, Vertica, Tableau). He favors pragmatic automation—rapid Hadoop deployments to OpenStack/AWS—and often bridges ops and development roles to improve reliability and observability. Though primarily a backend and data-platform specialist, he also has GUI and web experience (Qt, Swing, GWT) and a history of shipping open-source campus projects early in his career.
