Vlad Arkhipov is a Staff Software Engineer based in Serbia with 14+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable Java-based systems, particularly around PostgreSQL and Linux. He has a strong track record at Yandex, progressing from senior roles to Head of Service for Yandex.Cloud IAM and now serving as a staff engineer driving core platform work. Vlad combines hands-on coding, architecture and team leadership—having led service teams, acted as a CTO and provided external consulting for medical IT systems—so he understands both product and operational realities. He holds a Master’s in Applied Mathematics (with honors) and is known for pragmatic, performance-conscious design that emphasizes reliability at scale. Colleagues describe him wryly self-aware (his GitHub quip hints at a dry sense of humor), which complements a steady, methodical approach to complex systems.
