Dmitriy Shabanov is a seasoned core developer with over 25 years in software engineering and 17 years of professional experience building high-performance backend systems that operate on gigabytes of data with millisecond latency. He designs and implements stability- and performance-focused subsystems—ranging from revision control and fuzzy full-text indexes to SAML and links indexing—while contributing to notable open-source work on the eXist Native XML Database, improving security, XML-RPC and SVN/XQuery integrations. Alongside product work at Heretto and Mymem.me, he pursues deep research into alternative, neuroscience-inspired approaches to AI at TrueBrainComputing, prototyping models for existing and neuromorphic hardware. His toolset spans decades and paradigms (Delphi to Rust and Kotlin), and he applies that breadth to niche projects like an XQuery-in-Rust implementation and Sumerian text translation tools. Dmitriy blends pragmatic backend engineering with theoretical curiosity, driven by a credo that better understanding information-processing principles yields superior systems.
