Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNikita Belyakov is a seasoned C/C++ and Qt developer with 12+ years building embedded and desktop software on Linux and QNX, currently applying modern C++ (C++14/17) and Qt5 at a Moscow-based education/entertainment firm. His background includes long-term defense-industry experience and strong SQL/XML skills, complemented by practical Bash and basic Python for tooling and automation. Unusually for a primarily C++ engineer, he actively contributes to Rust open-source projects—improving core libraries like Piston and image-rs—demonstrating a commitment to refactoring, dependency upgrades, and cross-language code quality. With advanced technical education from Bauman MSTU and MSU, he blends applied physics rigor with pragmatic software engineering to deliver maintainable systems.
