Ivan Chelyubeev is a seasoned software engineer and team lead with 13 years of professional experience building reliable, high-performance systems from device SDKs to distributed storage. Based in Moscow, he currently leads a team responsible for Yandex’s company-wide distributed key-value storage used broadly as a backend, combining hands-on C++ and Python development with operational ownership. His background spans real-time data processing, MapReduce-like systems, and production database engineering, and he has contributed to the open-source YDB distributed SQL project by restoring authorship, hardening audit logging, and improving DML and selection logic. Earlier roles include senior programming on large-scale game engines and DSP toolchains, giving him deep systems-level and tooling expertise. Colleagues would note his ability to move between low-level platform coding and higher-level service architecture while keeping strong attention to auditability and security. He pairs a solid academic foundation from Moscow State University with a track record of resurrecting and improving critical code paths in long-lived, complex codebases.
