Ilya Irkhin
Yandex Eats, Head of the Algorithmic Platform Service
He works on logistics algorithms and machine learning at Eats. A few cool achievements of his: Ilya reduced the frequency of order delays by half without increasing the average expected delivery time. His team has implemented continuous pricing (no delivery cost thresholds — you won’t find this anywhere else), increasing the number of orders in the system.
Before Yandex Eats, he had implemented various geolocation tips in Taxi and handled the recommendation system in Eats and Deli.
Ilya enjoys soccer, basketball, D&D, and anime. He recommends these books:
- «The Jedi Techniques» and «The Way of a Jedi» by Maxim Dorofeev
- «Thinking, Fast and Slow» by Daniel Kahneman
- «Write, Cut» by Maxim Ilyakhov and Lyudmila Sarycheva
