Mykola Vaskevych

I build backends in Java and Python, and train neural networks — sometimes for research, sometimes because the GPU was idle. Computer Systems graduate from the University of Limerick (first class honours), starting an M.Sc. in Computer Science at Trinity College Dublin this September.

During an 8-month co-op at Black Box I worked on DeskVue, a Linux-based KVM-over-IP product: Flask services on the device, a Spring Boot backend for the management server, and its test suite, which I rewrote from Java/Selenium to Python/Playwright. My bachelor's thesis compared value-based and actor-critic deep RL across Atari and classic control.

Daily drivers: Arch Linux, Neovim, uv, a split keyboard running my own ZMK firmware, and an RTX 4090 that spends its nights training GANs. Everything else runs in a small homelab that breaks about as often as it teaches me something.
