Sam Shaplygin is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years building high-load, microservices-driven backends, currently at Yandex in Belgrade. He specializes in Go, scalable architectures, gRPC/protobufs, and operational tooling (Kubernetes, CI/CD), with measurable impact—reducing latencies, cutting CPU/RAM usage, and boosting user conversion across major consumer products. His track record spans search, voice assistant, marketplace, and payments systems at Yandex, Avito, OZON and Sber, often delivering both performance wins and fraud/reliability improvements. An educator and mentor who tutors Golang candidates and improves curricula, he also contributes fixes to open-source projects (e.g., a YDB Go SDK rollback fix). Comfortable across legacy-to-cloud migrations, he blends hands-on coding with architecture and product-minded metrics.
