Hi, I'm Ivan 👋

I’m a tech leader, instructor, and open-source author with more than 20 years of experience in software development. Today I focus on compilers, data science, and open science/source—leading teams, mentoring developers, and shipping systems that are simple, reliable, and reproducible.

As an educator (instructor and teaching assistant), I mentor students and early-career professionals, helping them build confidence, land opportunities, and deliver real projects. In community roles, I organize events, facilitate knowledge-sharing, and support initiatives like Open Science Labs that helps people from all parts of the world.

On the open-source side, I’ve contributed to many projects such as PyTorch, ibis-framework, and the Jupyter ecosystem, and authored libraries across DevOps automation, compiler tooling, and healthcare. I prefer pragmatic stacks—Python/C++/JavaScript; Django/FastAPI; pandas/Apache Arrow; PostgreSQL; Docker and CI/CD—used in service of clarity and impact, not buzzwords.

I help people and teams grow with clarity and kindness. Together we design simple systems, better habits, and joyful collaboration—so results come without the grind.
