Sergey Minakov is a software engineer with 8 years of experience and a 3+ year track record building high-performance frontend and AdTech systems at Yandex, now continuing his career at Stripe in Dublin. He specializes in TypeScript, React and Node.js, and has shipped infrastructure and UX improvements—feature flags for realtime A/B testing, WebSocket-driven replacements for polling, client-side caching, and CI/dep caching—that cut API load by 90% and halved page load times. Comfortable in distributed cross-functional teams, he automated critical partner workflows and instituted client error logging and performance metrics to improve observability. A regular mentor and interviewer, he’s coached over 10 junior engineers and conducted 50+ technical interviews, shaping hiring and onboarding practices. His background combines formal CS training from Bauman MSTU with Yandex’s intensive frontend programs, reflecting both theoretical grounding and hands-on product engineering. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who turns performance bottlenecks into scalable, testable features.
