Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTimon Post is a fullstack software engineer with 10 years of experience, currently building player engagement systems for AAA FPS titles at Embark Studios in Stockholm. He specializes in multiplayer game engines and large microservice architectures, with deep Rust expertise demonstrated by contributions to notable projects like quinn (QUIC) and Amethyst’s networking layer. Timon spans backend, tooling, and UI work—shipping social features, platform integrations (Xbox/PS/Epic/Discord) and certification-ready systems while staying hands-on across the stack. He’s pragmatic about shipping fast and enabling creatives, and his open-source work shows attention to protocol internals, performance-sensitive networking, and developer ergonomics. An uncommon strength is his blend of production game-service experience and systems-level Rust engineering, making him effective at both game-facing features and the low-level infrastructure that powers them.
