Olga leads the development of automatic ad generation at Yandex. She has spent the last 5 years making the service faster and more reliable. Olga is developing a system that processes billions of items from all over the Internet and turns them into ads within a day. Using modern C++ and algorithmic optimizations, she managed to combine stream processing of billions of objects on the BigRT framework with heavy GPU computations: the generation uses not only CPU-intensive algorithms, but also heavy YandexGPT neural networks. Olga taught a course on algorithms to first-year students at the HSE University.
