What I'm looking for

I seek fully remote roles (US/CA time zones) where I can build production-grade full-stack systems, work with data modelling and visualization, collaborate on scalable architectures, and contribute to impactful infrastructure or commercial products.

I am a full-stack engineer with 3+ years building scalable web applications using Angular, TypeScript, Python, and Django, with strong expertise in data modelling (LinkML, ontologies) and visualization of complex datasets such as LiDAR and ML outputs. I design reliable full-stack systems and data-driven applications, delivering production tools for critical infrastructure and commercial environments.

At Kapernikov I built UI and backend features for railway and harbor platforms, created ingestion and auditing pipelines, integrated ML outputs with prioritization heuristics, and co-created an Angular + Django template and shared component library to standardize architecture and accelerate onboarding.
