Rustam Musin is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building developer tools and web frameworks, currently working at XTX Markets in London. He spent significant time at JetBrains contributing to Ktor—authoring a Gradle plugin for packaging to FatJar, Docker, and GraalVM, an IntelliJ plugin that maps endpoints and improves developer productivity, and the Ktor Project Generator powering start.ktor.io. Rustam combines backend systems design with full‑stack work, exemplified by his open-source contributions to the Competitive Companion extension where he extended parsing support across many competitive programming platforms. He has hands-on experience with distributed systems concepts from an intern project implementing a Gradle dependency resolver using DHT/torrent-style distribution. Comfortable across Kotlin, JVM tooling, and service backends, he brings a practical focus on developer experience and resilient tooling.
