Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDmitry Frank is a seasoned software engineer with about 15–20 years of professional experience, specializing in backend development for distributed systems using Go and Rust. He brings deep low-level expertise from embedded and real-time systems—having implemented tiny real-time kernels and contributed to embedded JS engines and TCP/IP stacks—which gives him a unique ability to bridge hardware constraints and scalable server design. Dmitry has shipped firmware, mobile and desktop clients, and IoT stack improvements at companies like CESANTA and ORION and continues to consult as a self-employed engineer. An active open-source contributor, his work improves developer-facing tools (e.g., vifm enhancements and core fixes in cesanta projects), demonstrating attention to robustness and user-facing detail. Based in Bulgaria, he pairs a love of nature with a craftsmanship-focused approach to code, striving to make software as elegant and maintainable as the natural systems he admires.
