Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFilip Balucha is a software engineer and startup founder based in San Francisco with seven years of hands-on experience building product-focused web and desktop applications. After contributing at Palantir as a full-time engineer and intern, he co-founded Terminal Use (YC W26), applying production-grade engineering to early-stage product problems. His background spans React/TypeScript front-ends, Electron desktop tooling, and Python automation—where he once cut reporting time by over 85% through Pandas scripts integrated into a company app. He has practical experience porting legacy AngularJS code to modern React, shipping client-side Google Slides integrations, and tutoring university-level computation with a Haskell emphasis, reflecting both implementation depth and teaching ability. Filip combines startup execution with a strong foundation in AI and computer science from Edinburgh and Toronto, and a knack for turning repetitive workflows into maintainable, extensible systems.
