Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolValery Kondakov is a Lead Software Engineer with nine years of experience building high-load, reliable backend systems, primarily at Yandex.Delivery where he leads a team delivering financial services and pricing infrastructure. He specializes in C++, Python, and Go, designing extensible APIs, sharding PostgreSQL, and engineering fault-tolerant patterns (circuit breakers, race-condition handling) to scale services from 10 to 5000 RPS. Valery combines hands-on optimization—such as C++ function tuning and tactical Redis usage—with architecture-level decisions that measurably grew EBITDA for his business unit. He has hired and mentored junior engineers (50+ interviews conducted, interns promoted to mid level) and is comfortable owning uptime and end-to-end delivery. Based in Tbilisi, he pairs practical operational instincts with a track record of turning proto-projects into core, revenue-driving platforms.
