Top SchoolRoman Arkharov is a senior software engineer with 13 years of experience building high-load distributed systems and modernizing legacy architectures into scalable microservices. Based in Berlin, he brings deep hands-on expertise in Scala (Akka, ZIO), Java/Spring, and a broad set of storage technologies from MySQL and Postgres to ClickHouse, wide-column stores and graph/document databases. He has driven architecture refactors and sharding efforts that scaled services by orders of magnitude, led teams, and built CI/CD and monitoring pipelines at companies including Yandex, Snowflake and Playgama.
