Senior🎓
Top SchoolDzianis Balyka is a seasoned software leader with 12 years of experience, currently Head of Development at Yandex where he leads a 10-engineer team and owns architecture, scaling and delivery predictability. He began as a generalist freelancer—managing servers, CMS and even machine learning—before focusing on frontend engineering, giving him rare full-stack instincts combined with deep client-side performance expertise. At Yandex he progressed from optimizing SERP performance and leading an eight-person team to building a new product that grew to $1M GMV and driving frontend work for self-driving systems using React, TypeScript and Node.js. He also authors small backend and analytics tools in Python (Django, pandas), and brings hands-on implementation experience to strategic technical decisions. Not obvious from titles: his background in data analysis and plotting informs pragmatic, measurement-driven improvements to UI performance and product growth.
