Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Kartashov is a pragmatic backend and full-stack software engineer with 12 years of industry experience and 7+ years focused on backend development, currently a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI in London. He has shipped production systems at scale across healthcare and consumer domains—contributing to Google for Clinicians, DeepMind's Streams deployed in NHS trusts, and Babylon Health’s symptom-checker pipelines—working end-to-end from data ingestion (FHIR) to mobile frontends. Comfortable across languages and stacks (C++, Go, Python, Java, TypeScript, Ruby, Haskell), he pairs strong systems thinking with hands-on implementation of databases, Kubernetes-based deployment, feature flagging and monitoring. As a former founder and team lead, he combines product-minded decision making with hiring and mentoring experience. He also has a research-leaning background in probabilistic modeling and low-level work (PRNG implementations and Haskell tooling), reflecting a taste for measurable performance and correctness. Based in London, he favors building ML-enabled backend services that deliver clear real-world value rather than novelty for its own sake.
