Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolViacheslav Karpenko is a seasoned software engineering leader with 11+ years of experience building high-impact consumer and infrastructure products, now managing Corsair’s Stream Deck software from Munich. He blends hands-on systems engineering—contributions to libgit2/Objective-Git and building high-load distributed mining pools—with product leadership roles from founder/CTO at early mobile shops to leading Eve’s smart-home app team. A proven builder of pioneering consumer tools, he shipped one of the first Mac MP3 players, macOS “haxies,” and the pre‑SDK Installer.app for iPhone, demonstrating a knack for shipping useful hacks before platforms standardized. Comfortable across native mobile, backend, and distributed systems, he excels at turning novel technical ideas into reliable, user-facing products and at scaling teams to do it. An uncommon detail: his career mixes open-source plumbing work with entrepreneurial product bets and even a short-lived indie streaming show, reflecting a restless curiosity that informs pragmatic engineering decisions.
