Parashkev Katerski is a versatile software engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in Scala, functional programming, and building scalable data and microservice architectures. He has a track record of optimizing terabyte-scale Spark pipelines, implementing gRPC stream processing, and instrumenting services with OpenTelemetry in production. Equally comfortable in backend ecosystems (Go, Python, Kafka, Redis, AWS) and geospatial tooling, he has revived abandoned Django projects and led complex map-based applications. His academic work in bioinformatics includes developing a computational model of leukemia, reflecting a rare blend of production engineering and domain-focused AI research. Based in Sofia, he brings pragmatic problem-solving, a curiosity for language design (collaborating on the Alan language), and hands-on experience turning research insights into deployable systems.
