Summary
Mikhail Zyatkov is a Lead Software Engineer based in London with over a decade of hands-on experience and seven years in leadership roles, currently driving architecture and delivery for a cloud-based workspace management platform at essensys. He combines full-stack expertise (TypeScript, Node.js, React, Python, SQL, AWS) with a strong focus on distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and domain-driven design to turn complex requirements into reliable, maintainable services. Notable outcomes include a 40% reduction in cycle time, company-wide adoption of TDD, and designing an asynchronous architecture with clear service boundaries, a message broker, and schema registry. He mentors engineers and shapes roadmaps alongside product managers, blending technical stewardship with pragmatic delivery. Early career work at Gazprom and EPAM produced high-impact internal tools—reporting, search, and document-recognition systems—that cut reporting and search time by up to 80% and 60%, respectively. His background in both support and engineering roles gives him a practical appreciation for operability and customer-focused design that informs his leadership.
