Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDmitry Borisenkov is an LLVM-focused compiler engineer with 10+ years building production-grade backends and toolchains for projects from GPU/OpenCL compilers at ARM and Samsung to cryptocurrency smart-contract compilers at Matter Labs and TON Labs. He designs ISAs and LLVM backends from the ground up, shipping EraVM and solx work that already outperforms legacy compilers on gas and reduced maintenance overhead through innovations like absolute stack addressing and predicated instructions. As a principal engineer and contractor he pairs hands-on C++/LLVM contributions with team-building: hiring, structured interviews, linters, mandatory tests, and rigorous code review practices that kept zksolc exposure minimal. He has a track record of turning research-level compiler ideas into robust, ergonomic toolchains comparable to modern Rust workflows, and frequently bridges protocol, product, and DevRel to drive adoption. Based in Kaliningrad, he combines deep compiler theory with practical performance tuning and a knack for preventing design mistakes that can cost decades of effort.
