- PostgreSQL WAL and SQLite FTS5 systems
- Circuit breakers and concurrency bulkheads
- AST-based query gating for secure APIs
Senior Systems Engineer
- Led migration of monolithic system to microservices architecture
- Built high-throughput data pipeline processing 1M+ events per second
- Designed and implemented real-time monitoring and alerting platform
Software Team Lead
Provided consulting on high-performance computing with Rust and C++. Developed custom compilers and interpreters for domain-specific languages.
- Explored functional programming with Scheme and Racket
- Optimized algorithms for computational efficiency
- Developed mathematical models in Haskell
Software Engineer
Rewrote a production compiler targeting x86 and ARM, enabling a product launch through lower-level code-generation work. Delivered CUDA implementations achieving 10–20x speedups and applies Rust, C++, assembly, reverse engineering, and runtime development across blockchain, game-engine, and systems projects.
- LLVM compiler toolchain development
- Ghidra and IDA Pro binary analysis
- ARM and x86 assembly programming
- GPU kernel optimization with CUDA
Computer Science Student and Systems Programmer
Built an asynchronous Rust storage and streaming platform using Axum, Tokio, OpenDAL, and SeaORM, with PostgreSQL and SQLite persistence. Designed non-buffering payload delivery, transactional repository abstractions, schema migrations, and RFC-compliant parser crates for HTTP metadata.
- Background cleanup service for stored objects
- Multi-module entity relationship modeling
- Standalone RFC 6266 and 8187 parsers
- Open-source database infrastructure contributions
Lead Rust Systems Engineer
Works across kernel-space networking, low-latency trading infrastructure, and on-chain financial protocols, including Linux drivers, order books, and automated market makers. Builds Rust systems ranging from no_std components and C-interoperable modules to high-load Axum services.
- Implemented Solana governance using program-derived addresses
- Developed token-based voting smart contracts
- Built Rust backends with Rocket and Axum
- Integrated eBPF traffic-control instrumentation
Senior Backend & Systems Engineer
Built a Rust complex-event-processing engine that composes reusable processing blocks into Kafka-consuming and Kafka-producing deployments. The system uses Tokio tasks, NATS stage transport, embedded Python execution, and dependency-aware input routing to reproduce production-grade stream-processing architecture.
- Implemented bidirectional PyO3 type marshalling across the FFI boundary
- Managed Python GIL boundaries for in-process block execution
- Developed Linux filesystem drivers and embedded firmware
- Built distributed event-driven backends in Scala, Java, and Go
Senior Software Engineer
Contributed to a multi-chain cryptocurrency bridge on the Ergo blockchain, implementing secure cross-chain asset transfers and integrations for Bitcoin Runes and Base. Designs event-sourced, domain-driven systems for real-time processing, using distributed messaging and containerized infrastructure across mission-critical environments.
- Retrieval-augmented generation systems
- Agentic workflow implementation
- NATS and RabbitMQ messaging
- Kubernetes and OpenShift operations
Noir Software Engineer
Developed compiler infrastructure for a zero-knowledge proof language, spanning DSL design, type systems, SSA-based intermediate representations, and optimization passes.
