Summary
Mikhail Pustovalov is a Python developer and data-oriented software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building reliable systems across energy, oilfield services, and fintech domains. He transitioned from technical field roles—designing and running permanent downhole monitoring, intelligent completions and equipment testing at Schlumberger and Halliburton—to senior engineering and Python development positions, bringing deep domain knowledge of instrumentation, telemetry and operational workflows. At National Oilwell Varco he bridged application engineering and field requirements, and today applies that systems-level thinking to data-intensive fintech projects in Saint Petersburg. Comfortable across hardware-integrated deployments and software stacks, he combines practical field troubleshooting with scalable code and automation. Colleagues value his rare mix of operational grit, cross-disciplinary engineering education, and a knack for translating complex physical systems into maintainable software.
