Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMark Kovalev is a systems software engineer with 9 years’ experience building OS internals, filesystems and networking for embedded and enterprise platforms. Currently on Kaspersky’s Storage and Networking team, he develops a VFS layer that unifies filesystem and networking interactions, has ported VFS tests to a new platform, and implemented ext4 autorecovery and a FUSE-port of a custom driver to improve test coverage. Previously at Dell EMC he worked on PowerStore networking HA, intra-cluster communication, and protobuf-based configuration while modernizing tooling from Perl to Python. His open-source contributions to the embox real-time OS show hands-on experience adapting kernel and user-space components for IoT, including memory, network, and utility enhancements. Based in Saint Petersburg with a master’s in Computer Software Engineering, he blends low-level kernel expertise with practical tooling and testing improvements that accelerate platform reliability. A detail that often surprises collaborators: he routinely bridges sanitizer-ready code and complex storage drivers, making hard-to-test subsystems verifiable in CI.
