About Me

Hello! Sergey here, a passionate Full-Stack Python Developer turned entrepreneur with a keen interest in building useful and innovative digital solutions. With a background in both software engineering and economics, I bring a unique blend of technical skills and business acumen to every project I take on.

Professional Journey

Currently, I'm embarking on an exciting new venture with my wife (now business partners too, hehe). We're focusing on reaching and helping more expats learn Dutch, by creating digital products, using programming to enhance language learning experiences, and scaling JeDutchy's current business. This partnership allows me to combine my technical expertise with our shared vision for innovative educational tools, and it's really fun and exciting to work together with your life partner :)

Prior to this, I worked as a Full-Stack Python Developer at Team Rockstars IT, specializing in Identity Access Management (IAM) and API Gateway solutions. I also spent over two years at Assemble 33, where I honed my skills across the entire web application development lifecycle, working on projects ranging from batch payment systems to custom CRM solutions.

My experience extends beyond traditional software development. I've collaborated with academic institutions like CWI and VU Amsterdam, leading ML seminars and implementing LSTM models for weather predictions. I've also researched blockchain and decentralized finance, focusing on staking mechanisms and automated market making.

Education and Skills

I hold a MSc in Digital Business with a specialization in Data Science from the University of Amsterdam, and a BSc in Economics from the same institution. I've also studied Software Engineering at Codam, which ispart of the Ecole 42 Network.

Personal Interests

When I'm not coding or working on our business, you can find me bouldering, playing table tennis, or automating annoying tasks with no/low/Python code. I'm fascinated by digital business models and deriving insights from data. I love reading and writing about new tech, and I'm always working on passion projects that involve programming.

My goal is to continue building useful things through programming, constantly learning, and contributing to innovative solutions that make a difference, especially in the realm of language learning and education technology.
