Summary
Pavel Yakimov is a backend engineer with 8 years of experience building high-performance APIs and infrastructure, currently based in Barcelona and working at Manychat. He has a strong track record of optimizing systems at scale—most notably delivering a 50% response-time improvement for a friends API that served millions of users—using languages such as PHP, Go, C++, and Ruby. Pavel combines deep database expertise (MySQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL) with systems-level thinking from his work on simulation and algorithm design at Huawei. As a deputy team leader he mentors juniors and drives practical solutions, and his academic background (Master’s in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 4.88/5) underpins a propensity for rigorous, algorithmic approaches to problems. Colleagues know him for taking ownership of end-to-end features and inventing better algorithms when standard approaches fall short.
