Senior🎓
Top SchoolSergey Svistunov is a seasoned engineering leader with 14 years of experience building high‑throughput, data‑intensive systems and leading cross‑functional teams across Europe and Asia. Currently Head of Engineering at Holland & Barrett, he combines deep hands‑on expertise in Go, Perl, C/C++ and HighLoad/BigData architectures with a track record of shipping production services—from Yandex advertising platforms to Lazada’s mobile and content APIs. He has repeatedly moved from individual contributor to CTO and group manager roles, scaling teams, owning service ecosystems and launching runtime tools (e.g., Swagger-enabled Go RPC frameworks and internal SOA management utilities). Comfortable managing remote and geographically distributed teams, Sergey is pragmatic about tradeoffs and brings a builder’s mentality to operational reliability and developer DX. An engineer at heart, he still contributes technically while shaping product and platform strategy.
