Top SchoolTema Novikov is a seasoned technology leader and CTO of VK ID with 15 years of experience building high-performance back-end, analytics, and data-aggregation systems. He progressed through engineering and leadership roles at Yandex, Mail.Ru/ VK and Kribrum, bringing deep operational experience from running large-scale banner and monitoring systems to leading product-critical identity infrastructure. Tema combines hands-on systems programming and scripting (Perl/Python roots) with strategic architecture and team leadership, routinely shipping high-throughput services and custom analytics frameworks. He has a track record of inventing practical tooling—such as custom monitoring and SMS/email aggregation systems—that solved real production bottlenecks early in his career. Based in Moscow, he pairs formal study in business informatics and game project management with a pragmatic, reliability-first engineering approach. Colleagues describe him as a problem-driven engineer who moves fluidly between low-level system optimizations and cross-functional product leadership.
