Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMikhail Zakharov is a Staff Software Engineer with 20 years of experience building high-performance scientific and embedded systems at the intersection of biophysics, optics, and genomics. He architects and implements real-time, distributed instrument software and firmware—specializing in parallel C/C++, Python, LabVIEW, VxWorks, low-level networking and driver development—used to process terabyte-scale imaging data in soft real time. At companies like 10x Genomics and Berkeley Lights he has led and shipped complex instruments that combine NGS, microscopy, and AI-guided imaging workflows, and he contributes to standards work such as EMVA GenICam. Trained as a biophysicist (PhD) with deep lab experience in fluorescence microscopy and signaling modeling, he uniquely bridges wet-lab science and low-level engineering to accelerate bioinstrumentation. A FreeBSD-enthusiast and lifelong tinkerer, he often surfaces non-obvious efficiencies by reusing systems-level tooling from storage and networking domains to solve scientific automation challenges.
