Summary
Ilya Golshtein is a seasoned C++ programmer with 15 years of experience building high-performance database and infrastructure software from Moscow. He has focused much of his recent career on improving ClickHouse at Arenadata and Altinity, bringing deep expertise in performance-sensitive systems engineering. Earlier roles span database internals and low-latency systems work—improving MongoDB internals, building ISP-side profiling and ad-targeting pipelines, and developing server-side enterprise and trading systems. His toolkit includes C++, Go, Python, Lua and a history of working with TimesTen, PostgreSQL, Tarantool and other storage engines, reflecting a strong systems-and-storage orientation. Colleagues would note his steady career trajectory across startups and product teams that ship real-world, high-throughput services. He holds an MS in Computer Science and often operates at the intersection of pragmatic engineering and database internals rather than in front-end or product-facing roles.
