Igor Filippov is a multidisciplinary engineer and postdoctoral researcher with 11 years of experience bridging software engineering and bioinformatics. He has led and scaled engineering teams and products—working with Rails, React, Docker and AWS—before transitioning to applied computational biology, where his PhD and projects focus on tissue-resident memory cells, autoimmunity biomarkers and aging. Comfortable moving between production systems and research code, he combines rigorous TDD and DevOps practices with statistical genomics and epigenetic data analysis. His background building mobile and embedded AR apps gives him a practical edge in designing efficient, user-focused tools for complex domains. Based in Tartu and active across European research collaborations, he’s equally at home mentoring engineers and contributing to multidisciplinary science teams. A detail that often surprises collaborators: he has repeatedly moved from product engineering into deep biomedical research while retaining hands-on ownership of code, deployments and reproducible analysis pipelines.
