Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolNavid Kalaei is a Lead Data Scientist based in Vancouver with a decade of experience building high-performance, resource-efficient systems across data engineering, backend services, and front-end applications. At Lincoin Technologies he designed RPC servers serving up to a million sockets on 300 MB, built Kafka/Faust stream processors, and unified messy energy data from nine North American providers to enable a new product launch. He pairs systems-level Golang and Python engineering with hands-on Flask backends and Grafana visualizations, while retaining a strong front-end pedigree from senior React roles that cut bundle size and improved TTI by over 50%. A master's-trained machine learning researcher with Udacity nanodegrees in Deep Learning and React, he blends research rigor with pragmatic delivery and a knack for extracting data from nonstandard sources. Known among peers as a "lovely giant," he toggles between high-throughput blockchain services by day and thoughtful front-end work by night, thriving on autonomy, alignment, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
