Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Wasty is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience building backend and full-stack systems, currently contributing at Seerene while co-founding Malkut GmbH. He brings deep systems and graphics expertise, evidenced by substantial Rust open-source work—particularly on glTF 2.0 parsing and a Rust port of LearnOpenGL—as well as curation contributions to the Rust game development ecosystem. His career blends product engineering at startups and consultancy with part-time work on open-source graphics libraries, showing a pattern of shipping pragmatic, well-tested code and improving tooling for 3D workflows. Colleagues rely on him for refactors that make complex formats optional and robust, and for fixing subtle math and bounds issues in rendering pipelines. Trained with an M.Sc. in IT-Systems Engineering from the Hasso Plattner Institute, he combines academic rigor with hands-on system design. Outside of typical backend work, he has a notable interest in graphics and game-development infrastructure that informs his engineering decisions.
