What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a technical lead role where I can own core systems end to end—leading Rust backend architecture, performance, and distributed reliability with deep ownership and strong observability.

I’m a Senior Rust engineer with 6+ years designing and shipping production-grade backend services, focused on memory safety, low-latency execution, and asynchronous distributed systems. I’ve led Rust migrations and performance work end to end—rewriting an automated execution engine from Go to Rust on Tokio, using bounded async channels, lock-free crossbeam queues, and zero-copy decoding to drive p99 dispatch latency under 5ms during sustained market bursts.

I also build real-time systems that stay observable in production: streaming ingestion in Rust with shared-memory ring buffers, Tonic gRPC APIs with policy guards via tower middleware, and instrumentation using tracing, OpenTelemetry, and Prometheus/Grafana. Previously at Tokamak Network, I reduced operational costs by 90% through distributed scaling (event sequencer + ingestion), improved sequencer performance by 20% via flamegraph/pprof profiling, and delivered fault-tolerant distributed messaging with pub-sub patterns.

Jan 2026 - Present (5 months)

Led Probable’s Rust execution layer, rewriting the automation engine from Go to Rust on Tokio and reducing p99 dispatch latency to under 5ms under sustained market bursts. Built a Rust streaming ingestion service, strategy-based trading framework, and a Tonic gRPC interface with tracing, OpenTelemetry, and Prometheus to debug execution failures and strategy drift.

Architected and implemented a high-throughput, low-latency relayed service using Tokio and a gRPC microservices architecture, managing state in PostgreSQL via sqlx. Led a distributed scaling platform redesign (event sequencer and ingestion), reducing user operational costs by 90% and improving sequencer performance by 20% through profiling with flamegraph and pprof.

Dec 2020 - Jun 2023 (2 years 6 months)

Designed and implemented Rust and Go services for cross-system data communication using Merkle-tree validation and event logging to improve interoperability. Led a high-throughput transfer pipeline that increased transfer speeds and built trustless Merkle-proof verification plus an authority-based consensus service for secure, tamper-resistant data integration.
