What I'm looking for

I seek backend roles focused on Rust and scalable microservices, with strong emphasis on security, cloud-native CI/CD, mentorship, and measurable performance improvements.

I am a senior back-end engineer with over nine years of industry experience focused on Rust and systems-level programming. I specialize in building high-performance, maintainable services and integrating Rust into existing technology stacks to improve reliability and scalability.

I have designed and co-authored high-load microservices meshes, implemented secure networking and encryption strategies for regulated environments, and migrated disparate services into Terraform to reduce configuration drift. My work has improved application stability by 80% and produced production-ready Rust services, including WASM-based key management.

Earlier, I improved query performance by up to 580% through database normalization and data-access refactoring, and redesigned real-time ingestion architecture to streamline WebSockets, MQTT, AMQP, and SSE integrations. I also build monitoring, reporting, and dashboarding solutions to inform product and marketing decisions.

I enjoy mentoring engineers—I've trained colleagues from beginners to production-level Rust proficiency—and I seek roles where I can drive systems-level improvements, secure-by-design architectures, and robust CI/CD and cloud-native deployments.
