Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolArtem Tokmakov is a Staff Software Engineer with 11+ years building high-performance, low-latency, large-scale systems—most recently at Aurora after a long tenure at Microsoft working on Bing Ads. He specializes in C++ on Windows, managed-native interop, multithreading, lock-free structures and custom memory and IO strategies to meet 99.99% availability and strict latency targets. Artem has repeatedly driven developer productivity gains—leading compiler migrations, halving or better build times, and eliminating flaky tests—while shipping core libraries and tooling used across teams. He combines deep systems debugging skill (solving elusive threading crashes) with pragmatic quality practices like TDD, static analysis, and robust test design. Not obvious from titles: many of his wins are behind-the-scenes infrastructure and tooling changes that unlocked measurable build and runtime improvements across large orgs. He holds a Master’s in Computer Science from Moscow Aviation Institute and consistently focuses on reliability, performance and developer experience.
