Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYavor Georgiev is a Staff Software Engineer with 16+ years building desktop, mobile and database systems, currently focused on MongoDB’s Atlas Device Sync and contributing to Realm’s mobile database ecosystem. He blends deep systems experience — BSD/Mach subsystems, Objective‑C runtime nuances, JavaScriptCore embedding — with hands‑on work in .NET/WPF, C++, and mobile platforms. Yavor has a track record of shipping platform-specific features and build/CI improvements for high-profile open-source projects like Realm and WebKit, notably adding Android and .NET data-type support and improving cross‑platform build pipelines. He’s equally comfortable in low-level threading, logging and looper work as he is designing RESTful APIs and MVVM line-of-business apps. A habitual tinkerer and reverse‑engineer, he frequently integrates cutting‑edge tools into teams and even writes code generators for routine boilerplate. Based in Copenhagen, he combines academic grounding in CS with a practical journalism background that sharpens his documentation and cross-team communication.

Their work included modifying the core code, including the `RealmObject` and `NativeTable` classes, to correctly store and retrieve `DateTimeOffset` values, involving conversions to and from Unix timestamps. They also implemented associated utility functions to handle conversions and updated the Weaver, a code generation tool, to reflect the changes. Furthermore, the user refactored the `DateTimeOffset` to Unix time conversion and implemented the foundation to add support for standalone objects to Realm.
