Mikhail Maltsev is a Staff Software Engineer based in Cambridge with 11 years of professional experience building low-level, correctness-focused systems at Arm and earlier roles in telecommunications and security. He brings deep expertise in compiler internals and the C++ standard library, evidenced by contributions to high-profile LLVM/Clang and libc++ repositories that fixed subtle diagnostics, codegen issues, and numerical library accuracy. Comfortable across back-end and systems programming, he has a track record of improving compiler diagnostics, handling corner-case numeric functions, and hardening library tests to support real-world C++ usage. His background in information security and long tenure in embedded and radioelectronic companies give him a pragmatic appreciation for performance, correctness, and safety in complex codebases. Colleagues rely on him for driving technical quality in large projects and for translating intricate language rules into robust implementations.
