I build large-scale data pipelines, distributed systems, and LLM-powered automation.
What I'm looking for
I've built large-scale data pipelines and distributed systems for PredictLeads, MissionBio, Digiverse, and open-source projects. At PredictLeads, I improved job openings data quality, resolved roughly 50% of identified duplicates across millions of records, and integrated LLM APIs for reporting and automation.
I also co-founded and built Parcelar, making Slovenian cadastral data searchable through a unified web and map interface. My work spans Python, Java, C++, Ruby on Rails, AWS, Kafka, RabbitMQ, web scraping, and productionizing research code.
