Senior🎓
Top SchoolKirill Khistyaev is a software engineer with 17 years of experience building high-performance distributed systems for finance and at-scale data platforms. He has designed and implemented production-critical pipelines and microservices at Bloomberg, Google, Facebook, and Roblox, working with Spark, Cassandra, Kafka and other Big Data technologies to process petabytes and support real-time valuation and risk workflows. His background includes a PhD-era record of developing heterogeneous C++/CUDA computational libraries for million-line scientific codebases and operating Linux compute clusters, which gives him deep expertise in both low-level performance engineering and large-scale data architecture. Comfortable across C++, Java/Scala, Python and JavaScript, he combines rigorous research experience with practical system design to optimize throughput and reliability in latency-sensitive domains. An understated strength is his track record of turning research-grade GPU-accelerated code into production services that handle heavy financial workloads.
