Profile

I have formal education in applied mathematics and physics (BSc + MSc), one year of full-time extracurricular education in computer science, PhD in biophysics and structural biology, and 8 years of computational lab experience.

I enjoy writing code and building complex systems, and want to do that for the things that get to run many times, and hence should be designed and written wisely. I know a lot about (computational) biology, mostly on molecular level (structural biology, protein biochemistry). And I can communicate with people, including mentoring or leading small teams, at least that’s what I have had experience with so far.

Career

I have been roughly 8 years in science, working with membrane proteins and their structure-function relationships: GPCRs, (microbal) rhodopsins, membrane transporters, P450 enzymes, antibodies and nanobodies.

I am currently employed at ENPICOM B.V., and before that have worked at the University of Groningen and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. Also, I have worked at many synchrotrons and XFELs, and also was a visiting research assistant at the University of Southern California.

Software skills & activities

Bag of words: python, numpy/sklearn/pytorch/lightning, polars🫶, huggingface🤗 datasets and tokenizers, uv/ruff❤️‍🔥, pytest, docker/docker-compose, bash, mlflow, Ubuntu/nixos, HPC/SLURM/dask, prefect/modal/airflow.

🤓 MDAnalysis Core Developer since February 2025. For MDAnalysis, wrote a parallel backend for all analysis classes (dask/multiprocessing), added a DSSP module for native secondary structure assignment, currently working on an MMCIF parser.

🧑‍💻 contributed to opensource: reciprocalspaceship: wrote parser for serial crystallography data into binary dataframe-like class, ntfy-cryosparc: wrote web-server to parse CryoSPARC (tm) notifications and notify appropriate users.

😎 participated in Google Summer of Code contributing to MDAnalysis: introduced process-based parallelization to the library using dask or multiprocessing (see main PR).

🏆 participated in data science competitions (top-10% in Kaggle “Predict Molecular Properties”, top-1 in first round of “Learning How To Smell”, top-10% in Takeda Signate competition, 5th place in Tochka Bank graph ML competition).

💾 administrated ~15 Linux workstations and servers with around 40 users, managing around 200 Tb of research data.

🍝 performed large-scale calculations on SLURM and PBS, wrote bash scripts and pipelines or reliable and reproducible data processing of serial crystallography data.

🤷‍♂️ self-hosted bunch of things: *arr, telegram bots, WebDAV, proxy & VPN servers, paperless, openwebui, you name it

🦀 Wrote a python(pyo3)+Rust(pest) parser for crystallographic data, contributed to polars-distance

Science skills & acitivities

Bag of words: structural biology, crystallography, cryoEM, cheminformatics, computer vision, data science, molecular docking, drug discovery, protein structure, GPCRs, membrane proteins, structure-based drug discovery, antibodies, protein language models, discrete diffusion, flow matching, AlphaOpenfold

🧬+🥩 structural biology: co-published papers in Science, Nature Communications, JACS, Science Advances, Journal of Chemical Information and Modelling, Scientific Data. Performed data analysis, wrote texts, created figures, managed writing process – the normal stuff.

💊 structure-based drug discovery: performed large-scale virtual screening campaign, created robust accelerated virtual screening approach, communicated with CROs, oversaw functional tests.

🤖 machine learning: did many ad-hoc ML applications in computer vision (background removal with NMF decomposition), clustering, supervised learning. Always try linear regression first, have a paper about it.

👾 deep learning: know about protein language models and their properties, AlphaOpenfold-like models and their applications, wrote toy discrete diffusion models, adapted open-source discrete diffusion models for other domains.
