Meet the Programmer Who Scaled a Pizza Restaurant Into an International Company
C# over Rust, agents on Mars, and the future bottleneck of code review — inside one architect's programming mind.
Dubai-based Software Architect at Dodo Brands, Alexey, is responsible for leading the development of the architecture behind Dodo Pizza and Drinkit, which operate over 1,700 restaurants across 27 countries. He enjoys seeing the immediate results of his architectural decisions in the restaurants while the orders are processed at a rate of 720 per minute with a 99.9% SLA.
Alexey began his coding journey at a young age, learning BASIC on a Soviet BK computer and later diving into C and Python. His passion for writing about programming stemmed from his company's need to expand its engineering team and promote the employer brand through technical articles, conference speeches, and tech meetups. In his opinion, Mars would require efficient and reliable self-contained systems due to limited resources, leading him to believe that AI agents would be essential for detecting problems and adapting software offline.
He currently works with C# and .NET, and is excited to learn agentic programming, distributed SQL databases like Google Spanner, and Rust.
