Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSafaa Malkawi is a data science research assistant and computational neuroscience master's student in Berlin with a 14-year software engineering background and nine years of professional experience. She bridges production-grade backend engineering (Python, Ruby, PHP, large SQL systems and high-throughput APIs) with hands-on neuroscience lab work, including confocal microscopy, neural reconstruction, optogenetics, DeepLabCut pose estimation and behavioral analysis. At Charité and Humboldt University she applied computational methods to neurophysiology and behavioral experiments, combining code-first reproducibility with experimental technique (FELASA-certified). Her engineering career includes building scalable mobile backends serving millions of daily API requests and complex e-commerce and publishing platforms. Known for adaptability and quality-oriented teamwork, she brings both production systems experience and wet-lab rigor to interdisciplinary research projects. Unusually for a software engineer, she pairs deep backend scaling experience with practical rodent-surgery and neuroimaging skills, enabling end-to-end computational neuroscience workflows.
