Viacheslav Naydenov is a seasoned software engineering leader with 14+ years building high-throughput backend systems and payment platforms, currently leading the Real Time Cluster at VK Ads. He combines hands-on systems programming (Python, C++, Linux) with architecture, PCI‑DSS compliance, and operational reliability to scale ad servers, auctions and statistics pipelines. A proven team builder and instructor, he has repeatedly improved underperforming teams, sped up microservice startups, and migrated critical attribution logic into dedicated services. His background spans payment gateway architecture at Yandex (including PCI‑DSS certified card storage) to low-level database engineering—he even contributed fixes to the SOCI C++ DB access library to harden Firebird support. Known for pragmatic optimizations and rigorous cross-system data checks, he blends teaching experience in algorithms and cryptography with a bias for measurable, reliable results.
