Welcome to my GitHub profile! My name is Kirill Volkov, and I am a Scala and Java backend developer with over 7 years of experience. I am passionate about functional programming and bioinformatics and enjoy exploring the intersection between the two.
Technologies and Tools Some of the technologies and tools that I use include:
Scala
Cats
ZIO
Java
Spring Boot
Python
I am currently working on my pet project, Rule Evaluator, which is a Scala 3 library for evaluating boolean expressions using a custom syntax.
In addition to my development work, I also have experience mentoring and leading projects. I have supervised multiple student projects, including Variant Caller and Variant Annotator, providing guidance and support as the students implemented their projects.
I have also contributed to open source projects, including the HTSJDK library developed by The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. HTSJDK is a unified Java library for accessing common file formats, such as SAM and VCF, used for high-throughput sequencing data, with a number of useful utilities for manipulating HTS data. I have contributed to htsjdk by merging two pull requests:
Currently, I am working at Epam as a senior software engineer.
Thank you for stopping by!
