Summary
Dmitry Yakutov is a software engineer and engineering leader with 11 years of experience designing and operating high-throughput distributed systems, most recently leading AdExchange platform development at Yandex. He has run teams and acted as technical lead/TPM across adtech and core database domains, owning integrations with SSPs, runtime ML infrastructure, traffic optimizations, CI/CD and monitoring at production scale. At VK he was the product owner and principal developer for Messenger DB and related messaging infrastructure, combining deep systems coding (C++, Python, Bash) with product and people management. He also taught computer science and math at ITMO University, judged ICPC regional contests and authored ProjectEuler problems on HackerRank, reflecting a strong competitive-algorithms background. Comfortable in both hands-on implementation and architecture, Dmitry pairs algorithmic rigor with practical experience in Kubernetes, Kafka-like brokers and large-scale data processing. A quirk: his roots in bioinformatics and competitive programming continue to inform elegant, math-driven approaches to engineering trade-offs.
