Summary
Lex Vorona is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of industry experience translating research-grade ideas into production systems, from his first neural network in Pascal (2001) to modern distributed data platforms. He has built scalable data pipelines and privacy-preserving computation (Rust MPC at Cape Privacy), backend services and multi-DC OLTP systems, and production ML/data workflows for biotech and gaming. Comfortable across languages and stacks (Java, Scala, Rust, Spark, Kafka, PostgreSQL, AWS/GCP), he focuses on practical, auditable solutions that track data provenance and ownership end-to-end. His background in optics and a PhD path inform a research-minded approach and interest in random graph theory, yielding both rigorous thinking and hands-on delivery. Based in Victoria, BC, Lex thrives on bridging theory and engineering to solve real-world big-data and DevOps AI challenges.
