What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a long-term remote backend role.

At SLB, I designed and built a Python backend around an in-house physics-based inverse-modeling engine. Its services orchestrate modeling jobs, track their status, and reconcile inconsistent results; the backend is now rolling out to an initial group of engineers.

I also built an acoustic wave-simulation planning tool end to end, connecting a 3D simulation engine to compute jobs and a Plotly Dash interface. I set up Docker-based delivery and GitLab CI/CD, including automated tests and validation of model outputs against reference results.

My graduate research at MIPT × SLB focused on passive acoustic noise logging, forward modeling, inverse problems, and signal processing. I also worked on C++/CUDA acoustic wave simulation code using the spectral element method, and hold a PhD in computational mathematics.
