Overview

I’m seeking a Senior Software Engineer remote role at an infrastructure project. The ideal position would require Rust/Go proficiency, a deep understanding of network/system programming, and experience in protocol development.

As a software engineer, I thrive on solving complex challenges, from low-level device drivers to large-scale distributed systems. My career has been defined by a passion for both building innovative products from the ground up and diving deep into existing systems to modernize and improve them.

While my foundation was built on years of C++ development, I’ve spent the last several years specializing in modern systems languages, with a primary focus on Rust and a strong proficiency in Go. This allows me to build performant, safe, and concurrent software for demanding domains like cybersecurity and blockchain infrastructure. I am also a firm believer in augmenting the development process with AI, using modern tools to streamline workflows and deliver results faster.

Skills

Infrastructure & Protocol Development: Rust, Go, C++, Python, System Programming (Linux, Networking, Kernel, Drivers, eBPF), Protocol Design (EVM, Rollups, Consensus Algorithms), Concurrency, Low-Level Optimization
Blockchain & Web3 Ecosystems: Ethereum (Geth, Reth), EVM & WASM, Smart Contracts (Solidity), L2 Scaling (Optimistic Rollups), Ethereum RPC, ABIs & Calldata Encoding
AI-Assisted Engineering: LLM-Augmented Development (GitHub Copilot, WindSurf), Research Acceleration (NotebookLM, Gemini Deep Research), Prompt Engineering, Local Model Integration (llama.cpp, Hugging Face)
DevOps, Cloud & Databases: CI/CD (GitHub Actions), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), AWS, Google Cloud, PostgreSQL, ELK Stack
Rust: Macroses, Multi-threading and async programming, Networking, FFI and unsafe code, tokio, mio, rig, diesel, poem, async-graphql

Experience

Independent Research & Development ║ off-hours

Passionate Off-Hours Researcher & Innovator Driven by curiosity, I independently research and experiment with new concepts outside of work.

Beyond my day job, I’m constantly exploring what’s next in technology. I love diving deep into Web3 and AI, and I use AI assistants as my research partners to handle the heavy lifting. This lets me focus on the most exciting part: figuring out how these advanced technologies can be used to create real, practical value for people and businesses.

A few things I’m working right now:

Making Web3 instant: I’m creating a super-fast communication layer for real-time dApps, using some powerful networking features in Linux (XDP).
A new kind of blockchain layer: I’m designing a temporary, “ephemeral” L3 rollup that can work with any blockchain, perfect for applications that need incredible speed.

Senior Rust Developer / Founding Engineer ║ Analog One (Remote) — 2022–2025

Architected and led the end-to-end development of a high-performance blockchain-agnistic analytics GraphQL backend in Rust

Owned the system’s architecture from initial prototype to a highly scalable, production-ready solution, making foundational decisions on the technology stack, data models, and API design.
Engineered a blockchain-agnostic indexer to process over 100,000 data-retrieval triggers per minute from multiple EVM-compatible chains.
Developed a novel SQL mapping mechanism to query and combine data from diverse on-chain (smart contract calls, event triggers) and off-chain (Web2 APIs, RPC) sources.
Architected and implemented a BDD automated testing framework using Gherkin, achieving 90% test coverage for critical paths and significantly reducing pre-deployment defects.
Created the initial CI/CD pipelines on GitHab with Github Actions and AWS deplyment.
