About Me

I write Rust where it matters most — kernel modules, cryptographic pipelines, financial protocols. From Linux DCO drivers to on-chain AMMs.

Full stack of hard problems — kernel-space networking with C interop, high-load backend services in Axum and Rocket, Solana DeFi, ZK proof systems. 5 years of production Rust, from no_std to REST APIs.

I don’t reach for abstractions until I understand what’s underneath them. That’s why my systems are fast, my backends are boring (in a good way), and my smart contracts don’t get drained.

Beyond code: building keyboards, diving (SSI Divemaster, 400+ dives), lifting weights, and listening to way too much Meshuggah and Humanity’s Last Breath. Obsessed with factory and automation videogames.

What I’ve Built

  • High-performance backends: Solid and secure backend infrastructure serving tens of thousands concurrent users
  • Linux Kernel Enhancements: Rust-based per-peer workqueue system achieving 13.4% performance gains for millions of users
  • eBPF XDP Firewall: Pure Rust firewall with NIC-level packet filtering
  • Solana DeFi Protocols: DEX and governance systems using Anchor framework
  • Substrate Runtime: Cross-chain runtime supporting 4 EVM chains
