Senior🎓
Top SchoolArtem Popov is a Senior Software Engineer with 18 years of experience building backend, desktop, mobile and audio-focused systems from Berlin. He has shipped complex features at music and audio leaders like Ableton and Native Instruments, and now contributes to Mozilla while maintaining deep open-source ties—most notably adding audio engine, MIDI/OSC support and novel cyclic poly-rhythm instruments to the widely used monome/norns project. Comfortable in distributed teams, Artem bridges embedded/IoT work (libmonome device support and macOS compatibility fixes) with higher-level app and infrastructure development, including build pipelines and configuration improvements. His background in geospatial systems and metadata tooling shows a habit of turning domain complexity into robust, automatable solutions. Pragmatic and curious, he quickly adapts to new languages and frameworks while keeping a strong focus on debugging, user interaction and audio processing.
