Sergei Samokhvalov is a pragmatic CTO and backend engineer with 11 years of experience designing scalable server-side systems, currently leading platform and analytics efforts at AdOPTIMA after building robust telematics and data pipelines at BelkaCar and Leroy Merlin. He specializes in JVM languages (Java, Kotlin), streaming and analytics stacks (Kafka, ClickHouse), and cloud-native orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), with a track record of turning complex data flows into real-time insights and reliable production services. Sergei blends hands‑on implementation—ETL/Spark work, ClickHouse-backed analytics and ensemble learning for pricing—with CI/CD and infrastructure design, ensuring systems are observable and easy to evolve. Colleagues describe him as intentionally blunt about complexity: he favors simple, maintainable designs over cleverness, and mentors teams to adopt pragmatic engineering practices.
