Nikita Panteleev
Team leader: developing web solutions for startups
I like functional programming and computer science in general. I have experience in backend development in banking, tourism, gambling, e-commerce and logistics. I’m really excited about Scala/Akka stack, but I also like functional programming with Java 8 and Spring framework. The choice of programming language is not important for me, although I strongly prefer typed languages. Now I’m switching my career to product management and leadership. I’m a team leader of distributed group of developers. I organize the process, plan sprints, transform business needs into technical requirements, choose technology, actively develop code in initial stages, pay extra attention to code review and integration testing, configure infrastructure and pipelines. My main language is Scala and I have experience with Java, Python, C#, Javascript/Typescript. I have basic understanding of machine learning techniques and NLP. And I still remember some algorithms. I prefer real-world product development with real customers. I studied physics at university (Bachelor’s Degree) which gave me solid math background and model thinking.

Scala Developer at Evolution Gaming
Maintained and delivered new features to the most profitable product of the live casino provider. Main duty was support for production. This implies that 30% of work time is wasted on log grepping and linking/duplicating tickets together. The interesting part of work was migration from Java-like stack to the Event driven model and Akka persistence, Akka-cluster. I left company because looked for more challenge in startup environments. After all, gambling business focuses more on stability than on innovation.
Highlights
- Supported and maintained the most profitable game in the company.
- Migrated from Java Spring stack to the Event driven model and Akka persistence, Akka-cluster.

Scala Proselyte at Toprater
I joined this company because startup offers innovative natural language framework (sentimental analysis based on word2vec approach). I started from web crawling tasks using python, then managing freelancers and then switched to data processing or ETL. I mastered my skills in postgres data cleaning and then switched to Apache spark (1.1.0). Using Scala I developed ETL pipelines framework. I played with many tools like scalaZ, DSL combinators, Futures api. This gave me solid background for my next Scala job. I left company because simple didn’t receive salary for 3 months.
Highlights
- Crawled data from different sources. Managed outsource parsers. (Python, SqlAlchemy, Gearman, Beautiful Soup, PyTests).
- Cleaned and coded transformation in various data domains (Postgres 9.4, Bash, python).
- Wrote server with visualization and metrics (Python, Flask, AngularJS, D3Js).
- Maintained and add new features to backend Api (Python, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Flask).
- Developed data pipeline (etl-like) using Scala, Json4s, Apache Spark (Graphx, MLlib), Scalaz.
- Wrote a few microservices for interaction between api and spark processing (Spray.io, Akka-http).
