Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIlya Sharikov is a full‑stack developer based in Victoria, BC, with about five years of professional software experience and a deep academic background in physics and applied mathematics. He architects and builds web backends and APIs (Django, Flask, PHP), real‑time workers and integrations (RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), and both SPA and SSR frontends using Vue and Node.js, while also handling deployment and monitoring on AWS and DigitalOcean. At Used.ca he has driven end‑to‑end features including payment processing and numerous third‑party API integrations, and his freelance and contract work spans mobile apps to server infrastructure. An active open‑source contributor, he’s helped strengthen test automation and tooling for the widely used OpenVINO toolkit, improving test runners, model paths, and API 2.0 support. His profile blends rigorous research training (PhD-level fluid/plasma mechanics) with practical production engineering, giving him a strong penchant for reliable, testable systems and performance-aware design.
