Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Srbecky is a seasoned software engineer in the UK with 21 years of experience building low-level systems, developer tools and high-performance components across C#, C++ and .NET ecosystems. Currently at Google, he focuses on debuggers for C++, Java and GPU, drawing on a background that spans Android system libraries, build systems, graphics drivers and game engine optimizations. He has deep expertise in virtual machines, compilers and runtime tooling—evidenced by long-standing contributions to projects like ILSpy (a prominent .NET decompiler) and multiple AOSP subsystems. Comfortable across full-stack and back-end roles, he routinely bridges high-level language tooling with assembly- and architecture-specific optimizations (e.g. memcpy for MIPS and libunwindstack improvements). A Cambridge computer science graduate, he combines academic rigour with practical automation and build-system work, often improving performance and reliability in hard-to-debug areas. Notably, his open-source footprint shows both UI/IDE-level craftsmanship (AvalonEdit, ILSpy) and deep platform/debugging refinements used in production toolchains.

.NET Decompiler with support for PDB generation, ReadyToRun, Metadata (&more) - cross-platform!
Role in this project:Full-stack Developer
Full-stack DeveloperContributions:252 commits in 4 years 2 months
Contributions summary:David primarily contributed to the development of the .NET decompiler project. Their initial contributions focused on setting up the foundational structure of the application, including the creation of a main form, a text box for displaying decompiled code, and implementing the basic UI layout. Subsequent commits demonstrate their progression towards feature implementation, as they started writing C# code to define the functionality and structure of the decompiler. This user also integrated the Mono.Cecil library.
