Top SchoolMartin Kavík is a Rust-focused freelance and open-source developer based in Prague with a decade of hands-on software experience across backend, frontend, and build tooling. He authors MoonZoon.rs and has contributed to notable Rust projects like Stremio core, Seed (web framework), and cargo-make, improving core logic, virtual DOM handling, and cross-platform build robustness. Martin has built everything from a Rust frontend full-text library and desktop apps to proxy servers and social post senders for clients across Europe and Africa, demonstrating a knack for practical, production-ready systems. His background includes TypeScript microservices and ElasticSearch integrations for banking portals, as well as earlier work building e-commerce and payment integrations.
