Rust Engineer

I am a software developer with a strong foundation in Rust, backed by over three years of broader programming experience. My primary focus is on applying these skills to build secure and efficient systems in the Web3 space. My background is somewhat unconventional; my actuarial degree provides a rigorous, analytical framework for problem-solving, which I directly apply to my development work. This quantitative mindset led me to build full-stack applications for algorithmic trading and digital payments, where I leveraged Rust for high-performance backend services. I naturally gravitate towards security-conscious development, having also created tools like a Rust wrapper for secure secret management. I am now seeking to contribute my passion for robust, well-engineered systems to a collaborative Web3 team.

Experience

Cyber Security Analyst

Ripplewave

2023 - 2023

In this role, I was responsible for conducting hands-on penetration testing and vulnerability assessments to identify and exploit security weaknesses. This involved regularly utilizing platforms like Hack The Box, TryHackMe, and PicoCTF to sharpen offensive security skills, including privilege escalation, web application attacks, and network exploitation. I further supported these efforts by developing and utilizing custom Python and Bash scripts to automate reconnaissance and exploitation tasks, enhancing the efficiency and depth of security evaluations.
