Summary
Aleksandr Penskoi is a software engineer and PhD-trained researcher with 11+ years of experience bridging academia, industry, and startups across systems, embedded, and healthcare software. He builds production-grade backends and platform components (recently on Aidbox FHIR) while also designing micro-architectures and compilers—founding and leading the long-running NITTA CGRA project that blends Haskell, Verilog/FPGA and practical tooling. Aleksandr has led distributed teams and delivered complex scheduling and CPS systems from architecture to deployment, bringing a pragmatic view of how theory meets messy real-world constraints. He teaches and mentors extensively, authoring courses in computer architecture and functional programming and graduating many industry-ready engineers. Comfortable across languages and stacks—from Go, TypeScript and Python to Haskell and C—he focuses on making specialized technologies (like FHIR) accessible to developers through SDKs and type-driven tooling. An organizer of international conferences and a hands-on leader, he combines deep technical breadth with proven delivery in regulated and research-driven domains.
