I build performance-critical systems software, low-level tools, and optimized developer technologies.
ArmeniaWhat I'm looking for
I've built systems software across Activeloop, Synopsys, TeamViewer, VMware, and stealth startup environments, most recently as a Staff R&D Engineer at Activeloop.
My work centers on system programming, performance-critical and memory-critical programming, operating systems, compilers, and low-level optimization. I work in C/C++, Python, x86/ARMv7, Linux, and Windows, with experience in profiling, debugging, reverse engineering, and platform-specific optimization.
At VMware, I spent seven years as a Software Developer, following R&D engineering roles at the Institute for System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Yerevan State University.
I'm especially interested in reverse engineering, information security, hardware, malware analysis, packers and protectors, data compression, microcontrollers, robotics, and the demoscene.
