Full Stack Engineer at Hord AI who built a distributed ML cache end to end and cut dataset-export time 6.5x.
What I'm looking for
At Hord AI, I own end-to-end delivery of a distributed peer-to-peer cache for ML training data, from the Python SDK and gRPC control plane to production AWS infrastructure and a React dashboard. It cut dataset-export time 6.5x and eliminates S3 requests after the first pull.
Before Hord AI, I worked on frontend products at Freelance, Hepteract Software Solutions, and APIQ Media Technologies, including a restaurant storefront rewrite from Vue/Nuxt to React/Next. I started in environmental engineering and transitioned to software development through Yandex School of Data Analysis.
