Summary
Denis Korobov is a Senior Backend Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-load, maintainable systems for fintech and classified platforms, currently working on Yandex.Classifieds and billing services using Scala, ZIO and Akka. He favors Java-family languages for their clarity and cross-platform strengths and brings pragmatic functional-programming practices from Scala and Kotlin into production systems. His background spans full-stack and mobile beginnings to deep backend work—designing FIX integrations for trading platforms, microservices on Spring Boot, and resilient infrastructure for financial markets. A strong believer in readable, testable code, he has a track record of diagnosing concurrency and performance bottlenecks and raising code coverage through CI/CD. Early academic work on AI agents for Atari and ontology-based medical data hints at a continual curiosity for machine learning and formal modeling beyond core backend engineering.
