Summary
Olena Persianova is a product-minded software developer with 11 years of experience building user-facing SaaS and GovTech solutions from backend APIs to interactive frontends. She has strong Python backend expertise—designing real-time, data-intensive systems with Flask/FastAPI, Redis, Celery, and Azure/AWS services—and has shipped features like RBAC, WebSocket notifications, and complex trip- and grant-management logic. Her background spans full-stack work, platform integrations, and tooling for interactive experiences (gesture/voice/emotion recognition, Unreal Engine) as well as education tech (Open edX plugins and auto-graders). Before focusing on engineering she worked in finance and budgeting roles, which informs her pragmatic approach to requirements, KPIs, and product-facing accounting workflows. Based in Winnipeg, she blends research-minded problem solving (author disambiguation POC) with hands-on delivery across cloud platforms and performance tuning. Colleagues describe her as detail-oriented about user experience and unusually comfortable translating business processes into reliable, production-grade services.
