ABOUT ME
Backend and ML developer
Backend and ML developer
For the last 15 years, I was working on a large-scale social gaming and online gambling projects, and was involved in building high-capacity systems serving thousands of players simultaneously. Now I'm transitioning my career from gaming into the machine learning space, aiming to work on projects that have practical benefits to society rather than just entertainment.
As a hands-on developer, my main area of exertise is building cloud-first backend sytems and APIs, involving non-trivial data processing. Coming from gaming background, I'm proficient in building complex algorithmic solutions and running simulations of the random processes, which can be applied in a variety of other fields. I also possess a great amount of experience digging into unfamiliar systems and taking ownership of them.
I've also been leading teams of developers for the last 10 or so years, including complete juniors out of college whom I introduced into the practical programming craft, and people told I was good at this.
As a mentor, my main focus is not just consulting on some specific programming language or tool (although I can also do that, having built projects using a lot of different stuff), but showing approaches to reason about the problems irrespective of the exact tools being used.
Teaching a programming language is the easy part, my goal is to teach you how to think like a programmer.
