Summary
Denis Pakhomov is a Senior Server-side Developer based in Belgrade with 10 years of experience building scalable backend systems for high-traffic multiplayer mobile games and e-commerce. At ZeptoLab he helped take a game from prototype to global release, designing matchmaking, team/clan services, monetisation pipelines and an internal offer-targeting service, working across Kotlin, Scala and JVM ecosystems. He has deep practical experience with distributed systems and real-time services using Netty, Akka, gRPC, Cassandra, Kafka, Redis and PostgreSQL, and a track record of performance-driven refactoring and liveops support. Earlier roles in e-commerce and civic platforms honed his skills in analytics, A/B testing, access control and order workflows. Colleagues know him for turning product requirements into pragmatic, well-architected server logic and for owning both new feature delivery and infrastructure optimisation. Despite a primarily backend focus, he blends strong system design instincts with hands-on coding across multiple functional and imperative paradigms.
