I’m Sergey Istomin from Saint Petersburg, Russia — a Senior Python Developer and Tech Lead with over a decade in software development, system integration, and IT consulting. I lead engineering teams and ship Python in production: FastAPI backends, cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure, AI/LLM tooling (including MCP servers for AI agents), and security scanners for developer workstations. On the side I tinker with networking and reverse engineering — some of it ends up here as posts, and the rough-draft version usually lands first in my Telegram channel Спазм мозга.
My family — my wife, two sons, and daughter — is my world. We bond over sports, especially swimming and skiing, and I cherish playful moments with my little princess. Together, we value education, tradition, and the pursuit of knowledge.
I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science and Management in Technical Systems, and I’m working toward a Private Pilot License (PPL).
