Position: Senior Software Engineer
Category: PHP
English level: fluent
Years of experience: 11

Completed challenging projects:

US Yearbooks - extracting individual pictures, names, and ages from hundreds of thousands of paper US yearbooks, structuring the data, and creating a searchable index, using computer vision and machine learning to extract and link people's names and pictures. I took over, accomplished this challenging project, and wrote a detailed article about it. 

Various news publishers mentioned this project.


City Directories - a complex project of extracting 1.3 billion structured genealogy records from paper city directories. I headed up this project, solved a number of complex problems, designed the methodology, and built scalable data processing pipeline using AWS, Java, Php, and ML. I described this terrific project in detail in the article.
Almost anyone researching their family history in the U.S. would likely find their ancestor listed in this data index.

Our competitors worked on the same project with a team of 15 people and it took 3 years for them when we accomplished it in one year, which is my great personal achievement
