Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEgon Elbre is a Senior Software Developer based in Tartu, Estonia, with 15 years of experience building high-performance back-end systems and developer tooling. He currently contributes at Storj Labs and has a long track record of optimizing core libraries—most notably performance and ARM64 improvements to Go's standard library and numeric BLAS routines in gonum. Egon combines systems-level performance engineering with practical full‑stack work, from image tooling and UI enhancements to robust network libraries like a gRPC replacement and browser automation tooling. He has repeatedly focused on stability and correctness—fixing crashes, resource leaks, and concurrency issues across prominent open-source projects including golang/go and go-ethereum. Holding a master's in computer science from the University of Tartu, he brings both academic rigor and hands-on craftsmanship to complex codebases. A subtle strength is his propensity to improve developer experience by simplifying generated code and tightening testing and linting, making large projects easier to maintain.
