Vadim Piven - Rust & C++ Software Engineer in Bilbao, Spain

I'm Vadim Piven (@vadimpiven). I build desktop products with Rust and C++. I am based in Bilbao, Spain 🇪🇸.

I currently work at MiLaboratories developing a data lake for biological data, a domain-specific query engine, and a query language providing efficient access to the data in a manner tailored for bioinformaticians. These technologies provide the foundation for the Table and Chart components of the Platforma.bio Electron app.

Before that, I was at Kaspersky contributing to Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, and created a cross-platform web installer for Movavi products.

I earned a Master's degree in System and Software Engineering from HSE University, Moscow and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Informatics from MIREA - Russian Technological University.
