Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSimon Chopin is a software engineer with 14 years' experience who thrives at the intersection of low-level systems and practical product engineering, currently working at Mozilla after roles at Canonical and embedded/network stack work. He favors Rust and brings hands-on kernel, eBPF, and userspace C experience alongside higher-level work from mobile UIs to WebGL R&D. A long-time open-source contributor, he has improved the beets music library manager by adding partial-album autotagging and UI feedback for incomplete imports, reflecting a pragmatic approach to tooling and user-facing detail. Based in Brittany, France, he pairs a solid academic grounding in computer science with an uncommon mix of systems-level rigor and a creative streak—he’s also an active musician who applies that discipline to code and tooling.
