Summary
Mikhail Beskhitrov is a Head of Software Engineering with eight years of experience building distributed, observable systems and consumer-facing features across major Russian tech organizations. He blends deep Android and full-stack expertise with a passion for clean architecture and engineering best practices (SOLID, KISS, DRY), driving improved testing, monitoring, and AI pipeline design at scale. At Yandex he improved observability for 40+ microservices and helped define technology stacks for pilot distributed applications; he now leads engineering at X5 Tech from Yerevan. A lifelong learner who enjoys algorithms and coding puzzles for fun, he pairs hands-on technical craft with strong communication and team-focused leadership. He’s equally likely to sketch system diagrams as he is to tell you about the antics of his dog and cat.
