I love working. That's why koshelev.works. This is my last name, by the way. It's like a coin pouch in a game where you pick up little coins and figure out fun ways to use them — not real money, but some kind of multi-dimensional currency.
Ideally, it'd be cool to have nis.de as domain. But evil Telekom doesn't want to share. We'll wait until the pouch gets big enough.
Currently at AWS, doing fun things. My code runs literally on almost every AWS server worldwide, so I try not to mess it up. Working with the hyperscaler chip team on cheap, reliable ML infra. Automating things at scale, saving hundreds of thousands a month.
Before this, I lived in Germany. Worked at CHECK24 and Fraunhofer Institute. I love Club Mate.
MSc at Georgia Tech. Research with Jeffrey Young and NVIDIA on SmartNICs for HPC.
BSc at TU Berlin. Algorithmic research, thesis on twin-width heuristics.

Regardless of my love for science and engineering, I was always the kind of kid who loved foreign languages, history, and social studies.
So, a fun fact about me — at age 17, I became a prize winner of the most prestigious national German language olympiad in my home country, placing in the top ~0.05% of participants from across the country (and passed the C2 language exam afterward).
Regardless of all those cool titles, my first job in Germany was fundraising — and oh God, this was a struggle. Turns out your C2 is nothing compared to an old-school German grandma you're trying to convince to donate some money to kids in Africa. But it was a fun experience.
