Summary
Yuriy Vaskin is a Staff Engineer based in London with 15 years of experience building full-stack, data-driven systems using Python/Django, JavaScript (React/Node), and Go, and operating production workloads on AWS with Terraform and GraphQL. He has a strong track record of turning legacy products into revenue drivers and low-latency data experiences—at JOOR he helped rebuild a product that delivered 5x revenue and led sub-second user-facing data pipelines across Redshift/BigQuery and Postgres. His background in bioinformatics and PhD-level research informs a data-first, performance-oriented approach, evidenced by GPU-optimized algorithms and optimized search conversions in previous projects. At Trainline he now operates at staff level, blending architecture, delivery and platform ownership. He’s comfortable across the full stack and infrastructure, and often bridges research-grade algorithmic work with pragmatic engineering to deliver measurable business impact.
