Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMike Glukhov is a seasoned software architect and engineering leader with over 15 years of professional experience and 20+ years of programming practice, specializing in distributed systems and blockchain technologies. He has led and scaled teams of up to 60 engineers while architecting complex blockchain nodes, virtual machines and bridge/indexer infrastructure for projects like Waves, Aurora and Neon Labs. Technically fluent in Go, Scala, Java, C++, PHP and many niche languages, he combines hands-on compiler and VM work—evidenced by a Ride decompiler contribution to the widely used Waves repository—with high-level system design and patented blockchain architectures. Mike uniquely blends research-grade compiler expertise (language design, decompilation, state-machine visualization) with pragmatic product delivery across startups and enterprise-like teams. Based in Berlin, he is an active open-source contributor and keeps learning new paradigms, planning to explore ML and functional languages next. Colleagues rely on him to translate business needs into auditable, maintainable distributed systems and to step in and ship critical code when needed.

Contributions summary:Mike primarily contributed to the `wavesplatform/waves` repository by developing and refining a decompiler for a domain-specific language (DSL). Their work involved implementing a decompiler for the language's expressions, adding support for various language constructs such as "if" statements, "let" statements, function calls, and bytecode representations of functions. This suggests a focus on understanding and translating the internal language representation into a more human-readable format. The addition of features such as handling user and native function calls highlights their involvement in core functionalities.
