Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDmytro Kozhevin is a Staff Software Engineer with over a decade of C++ and back-end experience and five years in senior engineering roles, currently shaping core protocol implementation at the Stellar Development Foundation. He transitioned from multi-year engineering roles at Google to lead technical work on Stellar Core, contributing configuration and transaction-processing changes that affect network behavior and DEX operation limits. Based in Midlothian, VA, he brings deep systems and protocol-level expertise informed by a Master's in Computer Software Engineering from Kharkiv National University. Dmytro has a proven track record of shipping robust, low-level code in performance-sensitive environments—from game and embedded work to large-scale distributed systems. He combines pragmatism with attention to protocol correctness, often addressing subtle internal transaction error handling and versioning concerns. Colleagues value his ability to move between hands-on development and architectural decisions that keep production networks stable.
