Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYuri Gorshenin is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building search and mapping systems, currently leading the prefix search team for Yandex Maps and Yango. He combines a strong academic background in applied mathematics from MIPT with competition-honed algorithmic skills (TopCoder, Codeforces, AtCoder) and deep expertise in combinatorial optimization, information retrieval, and ML/Deep RL. His career includes search and mobile-first routing work on MAPS.ME at Mail.Ru and contributions to Chrome/ChromeOS and AddressSanitizer at Google, reflecting both low-level systems fluency and product-scale engineering. Notably, he has driven search refactors, clustering features and test-first improvements in the widely used MAPS.ME open-source codebase, emphasizing code quality and stability. Yuri is comfortable balancing R&D (data compression, on-device routing) with hands-on leadership, and often brings discrete-math rigor to practical, performance-critical problems.
