@denissuzdaltsev
Backend engineer building Rust products at vancoola.dev, including WordBin and the oxide-outbox library.
What I'm looking for
At Remax Grand, I developed and maintained .NET microservices for a residential property platform, using RabbitMQ and MassTransit for service communication. I also contributed to a transactional outbox implementation and added integration tests with PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ.
At vancoola.dev, I build and maintain my own products. I built and launched WordBin, a vocabulary-learning SaaS in public beta, with a Rust backend, a Leptos web application, and a Chrome extension.
I also designed and published oxide-outbox, an open-source Transactional Outbox library for Rust, and built CatNet, an open-source Windows network utility. I care about clear service boundaries, useful tests, and systems that are easy to run and maintain.
