Software Developer at Kaspersky
Russia
Summary
🤩
RockstarMaxim Zhukov is a pragmatic software developer with 11 years’ experience building and leading engineering teams across networking and security domains, currently contributing at Kaspersky. Previously an engineering team lead at D-Link Russia, he combines hands-on systems engineering with people leadership and delivery of embedded and backend solutions. A long-time open-source contributor, Maxim has improved core functionality and robustness in projects like the Rust-based pueue queue manager and the C JSON library jansson, focusing on error handling, refactoring, networking, and testability. His contributions show a preference for low-level reliability work—hashtable fixes, fixed-key APIs, and messaging systems—rather than just surface features. Based in Russia, he brings practical expertise in system internals and CI-friendly engineering practices that reduce production surprises. Colleagues would describe him as steady, detail-oriented, and effective at turning thorny implementation problems into maintainable solutions.
