Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoman Imankulov is a seasoned full-stack Python web developer and founder with 18 years of experience building and operating production web services for startups and distributed teams. He blends hands-on engineering (Python since 2006, React/TypeScript frontends) with DevOps and AWS operations, having led migrations to ECS Fargate and run zero-downtime Python 2→3 upgrades at scale. As a manager he’s balanced team leadership and shipping, formalizing hiring and onboarding processes while keeping a strong bias for pragmatic, well-architected solutions. He’s an active open-source contributor (improving Doist/bitmapist’s Redis-based analytics) and prefers remote, async collaboration—living in Porto with a timezone five hours ahead of EST. Colleagues rely on him for clear documentation, knowledge sharing, and turning early product experiments into maintainable MVPs.
