Senior🎓
Top SchoolSergey Melnikov is a seasoned software engineer and technology leader with over a decade of experience bridging low-level performance engineering and executive technology strategy. As Co-Founder & CTO of Dijkstra-Markets and former CTO roles at Raiffeisen Bank, he has built and led high-performing in-house engineering teams, driven agile transformations for 20+ teams, and owned technology roadmaps across data, security, and developer experience. His deep technical roots span CPU internals, performance analysis, compilers, assembly, and systems programming (C/C++, Java, Python), with published work in RSDN and Habrahabr and prior senior roles at Intel and Yandex. Sergey combines hands-on expertise—having invented tooling for performance gap identification and worked on libc/NDK/compiler libraries—with strategic delivery in capital markets and trading systems. Based in Almaty, Kazakhstan, he also brings academic rigor as a PhD in Computer Science and experience teaching C/C++ and Java at the university level. An uncommon blend of microarchitectural insight and executive delivery makes him adept at optimizing both code and organisation for measurable outcomes.
