Vyacheslav Levytskyy just can't help choosing between distributed software systems and compiler construction. He has started with his Ph.D. in Computer Science for languages and compilers for computer algebra systems, and has been traveling to-and-fro between languages, compilers, and data-intensive scalable solutions over the past two decades. Having tasted various spots in miscellaneous org charts, Vyacheslav prefers to stay hands-on, enjoying actual practice of software architecture and development. He has been contributing to SPIR-V Backend and Khronos SPIRV-LLVM-Translator projects over the last year.
