Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrank Kair is a Senior Software Engineer and VP based in London with a decade of experience building scalable web and mobile systems across finance and ML product teams. He is proficient in TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Swift, Go, Python and Ruby, and has practical cloud and infra experience with Docker, AWS, GCP, GraphQL and Postgres. His recent roles span ML platform work and senior engineering at Lightricks and Funding Circle, and he now applies that production-grade experience at BlackRock. A curious polyglot, he contributes to large open-source efforts like OpenGenus’s Cosmos—adding multi-language algorithms and data structures including Rust and Erlang implementations—which reflects his interest in programming languages and compilers. Frank is actively exploring Rust and functional languages (Haskell, OCaml, Clojure, Scala), bringing a research-minded approach to distributed systems and language tooling. Trained as an electrical engineer, he blends systems thinking with pragmatic product delivery and a background in linguistics and philosophy that informs his approach to code and design.
