Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVitaly Dyachkov is a pragmatic full-stack developer with 12 years’ experience who transitioned from five years of iOS/macOS engineering to building web and backend systems at a German company since 2016. He has shipped a web-components library, a custom CentOS-based Linux distribution, a Java AirPrint server (HTTP, IPP, mDNS) from scratch, and an eSIM management system using Spring and Ember. Deeply curious about low-level systems, he contributes to projects like Web Platform Tests and SerenityOS, studies browser internals and CPU architectures, and is actively developing his own operating system. Comfortable across frontend and backend stacks, he pairs practical product delivery with systems-level insight—often applying OS and compiler knowledge to improve reliability and cross-browser behavior. Based in Cologne, he combines disciplined learning with steady open-source contributions that influence both desktop and web platform correctness.
