I'm Lead Software Engineer at LottieFiles, where I maintain the official dotLottie player stack end to end: dotlottie-rs (a production Rust runtime compiled to WebAssembly for the web and to native iOS/Android libraries from one codebase) and dotlottie-web (the TypeScript player and its React/Vue/Svelte/SolidJS packages — 10M+ npm downloads/month). The runtime parses untrusted third-party files on every client installation, so memory safety, input validation and frame-budget performance are my daily constraints. Before that: backend at TikTok on systems serving hundreds of millions of users, and 3 years of enterprise React/TypeScript at Adform. I also contribute to ThorVG (C++ vector graphics engine). Looking for senior/staff systems, runtime, graphics, or frontend-infrastructure work — remote from Indonesia or relocation with sponsorship.

I’m Arkadzi, a product engineer and a teammate with 7+ years of experience. I’ve worked on products in AdTech, RetailTech, and SaaS, including for the US market. Over the years I’ve been involved in system redesigns, stack migrations, and making interfaces faster and easier to use.

I’m especially interested in work that helps people and has a positive impact. For example, right now I volunteer with Discourse, helping with a large SolidJS-based open media product for long-form text and multimedia.

I usually focus on fundamentals instead of getting stuck on one framework implementation, so it’s easy for me to grow my stack and learn new technologies quickly.

In my recent roles, I’ve worked on design systems, full-stack features, analytics tools, and performance improvements for complex products — from large maps and marketing sites to B2B dashboards and editors. I also care about developer experience, so I’ve spent time cleaning up legacy code, building reusable UI kits, and contributing to open-source projects.
