Summary
Mikhail Burmistrov is a seasoned software engineering leader with 13 years of experience building scalable backend systems and shipping data-driven features at Yandex and Avito. He combines deep technical chops from a MIPT applied math/physics background and Yandex School of Data Analysis training with hands-on leadership as a team and tech lead. His work spans API and microservice design, analytics acceleration, and large-scale data migrations—delivering measurable speedups (e.g., 3× faster MapReduce antispam and 10–30× faster analytics viewers). Unusually for an engineer at this level, he also spent years teaching physics and automating classroom workflows with Python and LaTeX, bringing a pragmatic focus on clarity and automation to product and team processes. Based in Yerevan, he prioritizes simplifying complex systems and mentoring newcomers while driving production-quality engineering.
