Summary
Semyon Balikov is a Senior Software Engineer with five years of hands-on experience building scalable Java-based systems for finance and large-scale retail. He has owned service architecture and delivery for high-volume forecasting and demand-calculation platforms, designing centralized workflow orchestration, APIs, and integrations that keep store shelves supplied across distributed networks. Comfortable across backend, microservices and some frontend work, he has improved throughput and reliability (emailing services to 50 TPS, resilient order fallbacks) and driven monolith-to-microservice migrations for treasury and trading systems. Trained as a mechatronics and robotics specialist, he brings a systems-thinking mindset from industrial automation to software design, often optimizing concurrent flows to avoid OOMs and cut latency. Sociable and adaptable, Semyon routinely takes responsibility for production performance, release management and operational support while selecting pragmatic technology stacks for long-lived services.
