Summary
Nikita Chudakov is a senior software engineer with 14 years of experience building high-throughput, highly available cloud-native distributed systems and leading multinational teams. He has a strong backend focus—proven at companies like VK, Nexign, EPAM and now Vicarius—where he delivered performance wins (e.g., 4x CPU throughput and 95% request latency reduction) through pragmatic architecture, gRPC, caching and query optimizations. Comfortable as both IC and tech lead, he has designed API gateways, GraphQL batching/caching layers, and AI-enabled device intelligence platforms using Java, Spring, Kafka, Postgres, MongoDB, Spark and Kubernetes. He pairs system-level optimization skills with hands-on data engineering and DevOps experience, and has formal training in data science (MSDS, University of Colorado Boulder). Based in Tel Aviv, he brings a long-standing passion for aircraft and computing that informs a meticulous, systems-thinking approach to engineering. Outside work he traces his roots back to early game server and web development, giving him a practical full-stack perspective uncommon in senior backend architects.
