Artem Kuular · available for internships & freelance

Hey, I’m Artem.

Cambridge physics undergrad & full-stack engineer.

I read Natural Sciences (Physics) at the University of Cambridge and ship production software on the side — co-founded products, contract work, and a few physics simulations. Most of it runs in Russian-speaking markets.

Currently building Mera, an AI calorie tracker for the Russian market. Recently shipped FinMayak for FinUslugi, Moscow Exchange’s consumer financial marketplace.

About me

Overall

I’ve been writing code since I was twelve, and I haven’t locked into a single field yet. I’m drawn to almost everything — physics, AI, blockchain, full-stack web, hardware. By the end of my studies I want to launch something of my own; building products and watching people actually use them is the part of this I find most satisfying.

Backend & full-stack

Multiple production backends in Python — FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, Celery + Redis, CI/CD pipelines. Most run in Russian-speaking markets at meaningful scale.
