Senior🎓
Top SchoolIgor Kim is a versatile software engineer and research assistant with 10 years of experience spanning full-stack web (React/NextJS, TypeScript), backend systems (Go, Python) and mobile (native iOS, recent Flutter). He combines hands-on product engineering—designing OpenAPI-driven architectures, Dockerized deployments and HealthKit/ResearchKit integrations—with academic research in VR and telecommunications, including LTE/5G protocol stack work and live RAN measurements. Comfortable moving between prototype research and production delivery, he has introduced CI/unit testing practices and mentored student projects while contributing to open-source tooling such as a Python Duolingo API. Based in Leipzig, he brings a pragmatic, interdisciplinary approach that blends low-level telecom insight with modern web and mobile development.
