Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMaksym Arutyunyan is a software engineer with over a decade of experience in C/C++ and a strong track record in computational geometry, embedded systems, and large-scale backend and frontend work at Google. He now contributes to the Internet Computer at Dfinity, implementing Bitcoin integration, cycle accounting improvements, and governance features in a high-profile blockchain client/replica codebase. His background spans low-level firmware and PCB design to web-facing systems, giving him rare end-to-end technical fluency and a penchant for performance and resource optimization. At Google he worked across Flights and Assistant on TypeScript/JS frontends and C++/Python backends, pairing production engineering with data-driven investigation. Notable but less obvious: he applies rigorous testing practices learned in CAD/CAM computational geometry to uncover subtle bugs and harden distributed systems. Based in Zurich, he brings pragmatic engineering and broad toolset experience to complex, performance-sensitive projects.
