Senior🎓
Top SchoolIllya Moskvin is a Digital Library Software Engineer with 11 years building robust backend systems, APIs, and data integrations for cultural institutions and enterprise organizations. He combines museum-domain expertise with cloud-native engineering—refactoring large ETL pipelines, tuning Kubernetes autoscaling, and delivering performant, searchable APIs. At institutions like the Art Institute of Chicago he sped up imports by 80% and led open-source website efforts; in industry roles he translated complex risk metrics into production data pipelines. Based in Chicago, he prefers durable, minimal code (and admits he “likes deleting code”), favoring maintainable solutions over clever hacks. His background in anthropology and art history informs a pragmatic approach to reconciling messy real-world data with scalable architectures.
