Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDmitri Dolguikh is a Principal Software Engineer with 18 years of experience designing and shipping robust, maintainable systems in Go and C++ across networking, service mesh, and provisioning domains. He excels at solving broadly scoped, complex problems—authoring protocol implementations (DHCPv6), maintaining an OpenSSL port of Envoy, and designing an eventually-consistent multi-cloud provisioning API. A certified Scrum Master and hands-on mentor, he pairs pragmatic engineering (CI, protobuf codegen, end-to-end tests) with strong architecture and team leadership. Dmitri is an active open-source contributor to projects like Foreman/smart-proxy and netboot, demonstrating depth in both back-end logic and infrastructure-as-code. Based in North Vancouver, he brings a rare combination of low-level network protocol expertise and cloud-native service-mesh work. Colleagues rely on him for clean, testable designs and for turning operational constraints into scalable software.
