Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarie Kiryanova is a Server Engineer with a decade of experience building full-stack web applications, reliable infrastructure, and CI-driven workflows from Boston to distributed teams across the United States. She has shipped front-end, back-end, and API solutions at companies ranging from agencies to enterprise SaaS, and currently contributes to server systems at VRChat after a Staff Engineer role at Datto. Comfortable across languages and stacks, she pairs pragmatic engineering with system-level thinking—evident in her open-source work modifying Nintendo Switch custom firmware where she tackled kernel, bootloader, and hardware initialization challenges. Marie is equally at home designing CMS-driven sites and diving into low-level embedded patches, and she consistently seeks new domains to learn and apply robust, repeatable practices.
