Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Jilkin is a doctoral researcher and seasoned software engineer with 10 years of full-stack experience, currently pursuing Theoretical and Computational Methods at the University of Helsinki and working at the Lab for Computational Molecular Engineering. He has moved between industry and academia, leading technical teams at Next Games/Netflix and building production-grade front- and back-end systems at companies like Smartly.io, Soluto and PowToon. His research background includes Bayesian network structure discovery and MCMC methods, bridging practical systems engineering with probabilistic modeling and sampling theory. Comfortable shipping complex user-facing editors and scalable services alike, he brings both hands-on implementation skills and architectural oversight from earlier front-end tech lead roles. Based in Israel’s Haifa District, he combines military software-engineering experience with academic rigor—an unusual mix that helps translate theoretical methods into robust, deployable code.
