Summary
Karla Fejfarová is a Back End Developer and PhD-trained inorganic chemist with nine years of experience bridging bioinformatics, biostatistics, and crystallography into production-ready data solutions. She has transitioned from running crystallography labs and co-editing IUCr journals to building backend systems at Imper CZ, bringing deep domain knowledge in structural biology and data analysis with Python and R. Her background includes developing image segmentation models for CT data and maintaining specialized databases and tooling for polymer and protein structures. Known as a "recovering crystallographer," she pairs meticulous experimental rigor with pragmatic software engineering and a knack for visual problem solving — she can even view cross-eyed stereo without glasses. Based in Prague, Karla combines scientific curiosity, strong analytical skills, and a coffee-fueled drive to deliver reliable, well-documented code for complex scientific workflows.
