Vadim Belman is a seasoned software engineer and systems leader with 20+ years of experience building resilient backend systems, VoIP networks, and infrastructure at enterprise scale. Based in Florida, he currently leads a department while coding primarily in Rust and integrating AI services into production systems, and he’s comfortable diving into source code or docs until the root cause is found. He’s an active open-source contributor to notable projects in the Raku ecosystem (Rakudo, MoarVM, NQP), where he’s improved build systems, refactored core internals, and helped land language-level features and tooling fixes. His hands-on background ranges from designing a 10K+ user VoIP and secure VPN stack to engineering an AI-driven Q&A platform (Rocket/SeaORM, HTMX, teloxide) and a high-performance write-behind cache that yielded orders-of-magnitude speedups. Known for shipping with personal accountability—“every line I stake my name on”—he pairs deep systems-level expertise with pragmatic product focus and mentorship of junior engineers. Fully authorized to work in the U.S., he thrives on learning new domains and turning obscure technical challenges into reliable, maintainable solutions.
