Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnton Lapounov is a Senior Software Development Engineer with 10+ years focused on runtimes, compilers, and low-level performance engineering at Microsoft, where he contributes to .NET, .NET Native and ahead-of-time toolchains. With an MS in Mathematics and Computer Algebra from MSU, he brings a formal, algorithmic approach to real-world systems like CoreRT and crossgen2, including ARM64 support and GC/locking optimizations. He has a track record of fixing subtle runtime issues—GC heap corruption, exception-allocation avoidance, and debugger integration—while also improving assembly-level and platform-specific code. Based in Kirkland, WA, Anton combines deep theoretical training with hands-on assembly and systems work, making him a go-to engineer for squeezing predictable performance out of complex managed runtimes.
