Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Pankov is a Senior Rust Developer with 13 years of systems programming experience across operating systems, hypervisors, compilers, build systems and DevOps. He has repeatedly shipped low-level, production-grade tooling—from a Rust rewrite of a Lustre monitoring framework with GraphQL and web UI to a Rust core system testing framework at Kaspersky that drives CI and automated stands. Comfortable in C, Rust, Python and Lua, he designs and implements kernel- and userspace components, dynamic loaders, cross-platform embedded solutions and memory-mapped dynamic library workflows. A hands-on technical lead, he has led small teams, authored QA infrastructure, and built authentication/authorization and plugin ecosystems from scratch. His open-source contributions include porting Telethon features into the popular grammers Telegram client in Rust and localizing the Rust website, showing interest in both protocol-level correctness and developer experience. Based in Moscow, he pairs deep systems expertise with pragmatic delivery of maintainable, testable infrastructure.
