Summary
Viktar Makouski is a blockchain software engineer with five years of experience building secure, low-level systems across distributed and cryptographic domains. Currently based in Dubai, he works at Stacks on sBTC, a 1:1 Bitcoin peg, focusing on security, distributed systems, and protocol design. Previously he implemented Cranelift-backed ZK assembly at Pagoda to generate zk-proofs for Wasm programs and has hands-on experience across startups and large engineering teams including Aurora Labs and Huawei. His background in compilers, cryptography, and systems programming is grounded in a BASc in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Higher School of Economics. Viktar blends research-minded rigor with practical engineering, often working at the intersection of compilers and blockchains to make formally secure primitives usable in production. He brings an uncommon combination of low-level expertise and applied crypto engineering to ambitious distributed-ledger projects.
