Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSergei Palitsyn is a Senior Back End Developer based in the Greater Munich area with deep systems and C++ expertise and 18 years in high-performance and embedded software. He has recently been shaping large-scale AdTech forecasting and Big Data pipelines at The Trade Desk, combining Scala, Spark and Aerospike tuning with randomized algorithms for programmatic forecasting. His background spans robotics and autonomy (SLAM, LIDAR calibration, cyclist tracking), cybersecurity (contributions to the Drakvuf black-box analysis project), and build-system engineering, showing a rare blend of low-level systems design and data-driven backend work. He excels at squeezing performance from complex stacks—whether refining socket/network monitoring in Drakvuf, improving Aerospike Spark clients, or inventing calibration procedures that materially cut localization error. Sergei holds advanced training from MIPT and Yandex School of Data Analysis, and is comfortable moving between research-grade algorithms and production microservices. Notably, his open-source Drakvuf contributions demonstrate system-level debugging and architecture skills that underpin his commercial work.
