Hi, I’m Nikita! 👋

🐍 Python Developer  |  🤖 AI Engineer  |  🛠️ Backend Enthusiast

I build production‑ready back‑end services and MLOps pipelines that turn research‑grade models into business value. My background in AI engineering (MSc, Ural Federal University) helps me speak both the language of data science and of scalable software. I love clean architecture, well‑documented APIs and CI/CD that “just works”.

Currently looking for a team where engineering rigour and curiosity meet to deliver products that matter.


✨ Highlights

  • 🚀 Delivered projects – from proof‑of‑concept to cloud deployment.
  • 🔄 Full‑cycle ownership – requirements → system design → coding → tests → DevOps.
  • Process optimisation – automated data & model pipelines saved analysts 30 + hrs/month.
  • 🤝 Agile & teamwork – experienced in Scrum/Kanban, peer reviews and trunk‑based Git flow.

👁️‍🗨️ Computer Vision & Data Pipelines

Project What it does Challenge solved Key tech
Newts Labelling
newts_labelling
Prefect flow downloads, aggregates and resizes wildlife images; initialises a DeepLabCut project; syncs with Google Drive. Replaced a brittle manual workflow – 5× faster dataset refresh. Prefect · DeepLabCut · Google Drive API · Docker
DeepLabCut Inference & Cropping
deeplabcut_images_inference_and_cropping
Streamlit app resizes images, runs DLC inference, crops regions (e.g., newt bellies). Batch GPU inference within memory limits; automated ROI extraction. Streamlit · DeepLabCut · OpenCV
Streamlit Multi‑Label Classifier
streamlit_multi-label_classifier
EfficientNet‑B4 model with visual dashboard for multi‑tagging marketing images. Enabled non‑tech staff to tag assets with > 95 % precision. Streamlit · PyTorch · Altair

🎓 Study Projects

Project What it does Notes Key tech
Titanic Survival Prediction API
MLOps_team21_final
FastAPI service predicts survival from passenger data; CI trains & deploys model with DVC‑versioned data. University capstone demonstrating end‑to‑end MLOps best practices. FastAPI · scikit‑learn · DVC · Jenkins · Docker

🎮 Unity Games (private repos)

  • Rogue‑like Prototype – inventory, stat system & item interaction.
  • Simple Coffee Visual Novel – gameplay & state management (dialogue engine).

🧩 How I Tackle Problems

  1. Start with the why – clarify business goals before writing code.
  2. Design first – draw sequence & deployment diagrams; pick the simplest architecture that scales.
  3. Automate everything – tests, linting, data & model versioning, container builds.
  4. Measure & iterate – ship small, collect metrics, improve.

Thanks for reading – looking forward to building great things together! 🚀
