Anton Pupkov is a software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building back-end systems and tooling from Walnut Creek, California. A lifelong game modder turned developer, he contributes to open-source projects that unify hardware and game lighting—most notably adding multi-game support and optimizations to the Aurora lighting engine. He combines practical systems work (wrappers, version upgrades, performance tweaks) with user-facing feature additions like configurable key assignments. Comfortable shipping iterative improvements, Anton brings a hobbyist’s deep familiarity with game ecosystems to professional software projects. He studied at UC Davis and channels that curiosity into pragmatic, cross-platform integrations that bridge games, peripherals, and infrastructure.
