Vasily Romanov is a seasoned technology executive and hands-on engineer with over a decade of experience leading large-scale backend and cloud products from Mail.Ru to VK, Sber and now MTS. He has repeatedly driven dramatic performance and reliability improvements—shrinking release cycles from weeks to hours, accelerating upload/download speeds, and raising SLA and incident management standards. A pragmatic promoter of Go adoption, he led Mail.ru’s migration to Golang and contributed to the popular easyjson project by extending its code generator to support custom marshaling, map keys and complex embedded/pointer types. He combines product delivery, technical presales and team building—launching on‑prem and SaaS offerings for enterprise customers and training thousands of Go developers through university and corporate programs. At Sber he focused on payment ecosystems, resilience and introducing AI into production workflows, and at VK he shipped document editing, family subscriptions and on‑prem suites for major customers. Collectedly, his profile blends deep systems-level engineering with operator instincts and a knack for closing technical gaps that unlock measurable business impact.
