Summary
Nikita Anisimov is a Senior Application Architect and Tech Lead with 11 years of hands-on experience designing, building and operating large-scale services, currently leading platform work at Rakuten from Tokyo. He spent seven years at VK/Mail.Ru driving backend architecture and full-stack features for high‑load messaging (ICQ/Myteam), VoIP/WebRTC, and data lake pipelines at dozens-of-petabytes scale. Comfortable across languages and layers—Golang, C/C++, Python, Objective-C, React, Kafka, Spark, ClickHouse and Kubernetes—he blends feature development with devops, monitoring and repeatable deployment engineering. He has extensive production experience owning end-to-end lifecycle: ground-up feature design, deployment, observability and support. He also mentors and manages junior engineers and interns, pairing agile team routines with pragmatic project planning. A practical polyglot engineer, he’s as likely to design a low-latency call room as to architect a petabyte-scale ETL component.
