Oleg Tsarev is a VP of Engineering based in Amsterdam with 11 years of hands-on experience building and scaling backend systems, databases, and SRE/DevOps practices. He combines end-to-end delivery skills—budgeting, architecture, hiring, and process design—with deep technical roots in C++, MySQL/Percona contributions, and high-performance backend development. Oleg has led teams at Truvity and Mail.Ru and previously shipped foundational database features and performance optimizations at Percona and Bridge-Quest. He’s known for turning complex distributed and storage problems into reliable, production-ready conveyors and for mentoring engineers across multiple disciplines. A physics and computer-science graduate from Novosibirsk State University, he brings analytical rigor and a penchant for measurable performance improvements that aren’t always obvious from titles alone.
