Dmytro Vovk
Senior Software Engineer at Epic Games
Stockholm, Sweden
Summary
🤩
RockstarDmytro Vovk is a Senior Software Engineer based in Stockholm with eight years of deep systems and game-engine experience, currently focusing on performance and memory optimization at Epic Games. He has a proven track record of squeezing large gains out of constrained hardware—leading Vermintide 2 console optimizations that cut memory use by over 1GB, built a PS4 virtual memory manager five times faster than the system allocator, and improved Lua gameplay performance through allocator and TLB-aware redesigns. Comfortable across PC, console and mobile CPU architectures (including ARM) and weak memory models, he routinely tackles multithreading and lock-free problems that other teams avoid. He also builds tooling and content pipelines (Houdini/FBX), sped up data compilation dramatically, and introduced engineering processes like code review and roadmapping. Outside of games he contributes to open-source projects around embedded hacking and cloud access for reMarkable tablets, showing a pragmatically nerdy curiosity for firmware and backend systems. Passionate about treating warnings as errors, he combines low-level hardware insight with practical engineering to deliver stable, high-performance releases.
