Alexey Kiselev

About me:

I am 6-years experienced Full-stack developer with over 13-years of programming background and excellent analytical and math skills. At front-end side I can make from dynamic html websites (HTML5, CSS3, Less, jQuery, AJAX) to SPA projects (AngularJS, React+Redux, VueJS), JSON, XML, at back-end side I experienced in NodeJS (Express, MongoDB, Pug, Socket.IO, Gulp), PHP (CakePHP, Laravel), Ruby on Rails, Python, C++, Matlab and Java. I can show a deep knowledge of ES5 and ES6, Design Patterns, OOP principles. I worked with MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL. I use TDD whenever is possible, Git for version control. I experienced like Windows and Linux user. And I’d like to join an ambitious startup to create something worthwhile.

I am following new trends in web and service development. I can read and refactor my own and someone’s code and I can learn very fast. I can manage huge projects alone and pull them to result. Have high attention to details and desire to learn new technologies. Good team player too. My English is good for conversation.

I’m looking for interesting and challenging project to where I will invest my whole experience for launch and get nice results. International projects or serious enterprise would be great. Startups are welcome!

2004-2007 – Data Analyst

            I worked in a Science Group Project “Light Diffraction by Motion Media” granted by Government. The results were published in approved science journals and approbate on the international science conferences.

Key Features:

–       Developed embedded software (C++ and Matlab environment) for laser signal analysis.

–       Worked with my own program modules using Matlab&Simulink, which calculate signal parameters, signal statistics and behavioral prediction

–       Implemented numerical methods to improve precision of solving ODE

–       Enhanced my own previous modules from 2D to 3D media geometry

–       Developd a lot of Data Visualization modules using Visual Fortran, C++ (QT, VTK) and Matlab

2007-2009 – Senior Data Analyst

Engineer & Software Developer (Data calculating, analyzing, visualization and testing + Physical Researches and Math calculations) in a working group containing 15+ scientists from Russia, France and Australia. Project called “Quantum Fluctuations of Dissipative Solitons” and was Granted by Russian Academy of Science.

Key Features:

–       Developed my own program complex from scratch for project goals using Matlab environment

–       Implemented Big Data Science methods for analyzing system of over 6 billion differential equations (implement improved numerical methods to Matlab modules for this purpose). The result was an executable module, which demonstrate soliton dynamic corresponding to the set of parameters.

–       Developed a special modules using parallel programming with a Computer Cluster

–       Designed, developed and implemented a Simulink module, which demonstrate a working of System with Positive Feedback (programming part, math and physical part – all are my own). Wrote a technical documentation for this module.

–       Developed testing and prediction modules for project’s equations using Matlab&Simulink

–       Developed a Data visualization modules using C++ (QT, VTK)

Summary: Well, it was very interesting experience. I met a lot of very clever people, joined ambitious projects, and had achieved impressive results: I had improved my analytical and math skills, had learned to work as a part of science group and communicate with different people, had enhanced my ability to develop project from scratch, set goals and analyze the results. And I had fallen in love of Math Modeling and Programming forever.
