What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on systems-level Rust development, high-performance or distributed systems, and blockchain engineering with strong technical ownership and collaborative teams.

I am a detail-oriented Rust developer with deep experience in systems programming, high-performance computing, and concurrent applications. I leverage Rust's safety and performance to build efficient, secure, and scalable software, including smart contracts and low-level engine components.

At MetaGravity I developed and optimized a high-performance, multi-threaded concurrent application, used Tokio for async tasks, integrated monitoring with Grafana and Prometheus, and performed profiling and debugging with perf, heaptrack and LLVM tools. I manage releases with Git and semantic versioning and have hands-on experience deploying and streaming logs to AWS and GCP.

I also built and published several Rust projects and crates—including a 3D server-side pathfinding system, a spatial partitioning library, and cryptography and encoding crates—and developed and deployed NFT, DEX and marketplace smart contracts on the Concordium blockchain with upgradeability and contract-to-contract communication.
