Evgeny Fomin is a versatile software engineer with 11 years of professional experience building backend systems, automation, and ML-enabled applications across Rust, C++, Python and embedded C. He has driven production Rust work at fintech and healthcare companies, contributed performance-minded improvements to the widely used dlib C++ ML toolkit, and has deep experience integrating third‑party APIs, gRPC/GraphQL, and CUDA workloads. Comfortable moving between low-level optimizations (SIMD/FHoG changes, SSE2 support) and higher-level system design, he focuses on reliable, maintainable solutions that reduce operational routine for end users. Based in Belgrade, he brings a pragmatic blend of research-orientation from ITMO and hands-on engineering across startups and outsourcing teams. Notably, he’s been coding since 1992, giving him rare long-term perspective on evolving languages and tooling.

Contributions summary:Evgeny made several contributions focused on the development and improvement of the `dlib` machine learning toolkit. Their commits added options to the simple object detector trainer, including an `upsample_limit` parameter, and implemented automatic support for SSE2 on x64 MSVC builds, which enhanced performance. Furthermore, they modified the FHoG calculations to use floats rather than doubles, and then added functionality to leverage SIMD8 for FHOG feature computations.
