Summary
Kyrylo Zakharov is an information management and full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, secure data systems for humanitarian operations from Ukraine. As Assistant Information Management Officer at UNHCR, he architects platforms for assistance tracking, deduplication, and operational analytics using TypeScript/Node, Vue, R, Python and databases like Elasticsearch and MongoDB, and led RAIS+, a UNHCR Innovation Fund–endorsed solution used by 500+ users. He pairs field-facing delivery—dashboards, reporting tools and API-driven automation—with strategic advisory work for national ministries on data standards and system integration. A serial founder and CEO of transparency and civic tech initiatives (including the award-winning Суд на долоні / Court on the Palm), he blends product leadership with hands-on engineering. He’s particularly focused on practical data validation and deduplication techniques that make humanitarian data reliably actionable at scale.
