Nikolay Ryzhkov is a Lead Software Engineer based in Budapest with over 15 years of backend experience across startups and large product teams, currently heading a five-person backend team at an insurance-reimbursement startup. He combines pragmatic engineering—building resilient, high-throughput services with limited resources—with deep systems and algorithmic experience from prior roles at Yandex and streaming leader ivi.ru. His background spans C++, Python, distributed logging and OLAP architectures, video encoding pipelines, and clever workarounds for legacy business logic and insurer integrations. Known for optimizing storage and processing (Redis-based transactions, Vertica integration, nginx+Lua pipelines) he thrives on solving tricky interoperability and performance challenges. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex domain constraints into practical, maintainable systems while keeping an engineer’s attention to low-level detail.
