Top SchoolPetr Mikheev is a Swiss-based software engineer with 9 years of experience blending research-grade rigor and production engineering, currently building software at Google after a postdoc at ETH Zurich and a PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science. He has a strong research background from the Russian Academy of Sciences and MSU, which informs his pragmatic approach to complex systems and algorithms. At Google he applies that depth to large-scale problems, while his open-source contributions to the well-known OpenMW game engine show a hands-on interest in improving player movement and camera systems. Colleagues would describe him as someone who moves seamlessly between low-level mechanics and high-level system design, and who quietly improves user-facing details through careful refactors and bug fixes.
