Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTatiana Goldina is a Senior Applications Developer with 13+ years building robust, scalable scientific data systems, currently leading backend and pipeline infrastructure for Caltech/IPAC’s SPHEREx Science Data Center and Infrared Science Archive. She blends deep systems architecture knowledge with hands-on expertise across Java, JavaScript, Python and legacy languages (Lisp, C/C++), and is experienced in containerization, VO protocols, and complex web archives. Tatiana has a strong record integrating front-end richness (GWT, React) with enterprise Java EE backends, databases, and JNI-linked native libraries to deliver production-grade archives used by the astronomy community. Her tenure includes key roles on LSST and Spitzer projects where she implemented visualization, ingestion, and scheduling subsystems that bridge instrument, mission ops, and science teams. Comfortable modernizing legacy stacks while designing new pipeline infrastructure, she combines academic rigor (M.S. CS, MIPT applied mathematics) with a pragmatic focus on reproducible, standards-based data access. An understated strength is her ability to translate domain algorithms into operational pipelines that satisfy both scientific precision and operational constraints.
