Senior🎓
Top SchoolGuergana Tzatchkova is a Research Software Engineer based in Germany with 11 years of experience building open-source knowledge management and front-end systems for cultural heritage, NGOs, and Wikimedia projects. She combines deep Wikibase/MediaWiki expertise with practical full-stack skills—React/TypeScript frontends, Python tooling, and deployment/maintenance of research data infrastructure for NFDI4Culture. Her background spans creative coding, teaching youth computing, and UX-focused tools like the Open Data Editor, showing a talent for making complex data accessible to non-technical users. Comfortable in both academic and product contexts (PhD candidacy in communication and a master’s in interactive design), she bridges research questions and production-ready software. Unusually, her career mixes video and performance art projects with rigorous engineering, giving her a strong interdisciplinary approach to user-centered data platforms.
