Senior Rust Blockchain Engineer
Senior Rust Developer with over 7 years of engineering experience (5+ years in Rust). My expertise spans the entire Web3 landscape—from DeFi and HFT to core blockchain infrastructure.
Prior to Web3, I built a strong foundation in systems programming, contributing to the KasperskyOS microkernel and the Tarantool database engine, as well as developing custom compilers and graphics engines. A graduate of MIPT (Russian top technical university), I leverage my fundamental computer science background to master new technologies rapidly and solve complex architectural challenges.
Core Tech Stack & Focus Areas:
• Languages: Rust (Expert), C++, C, Go.
• Blockchain: MEV, Solana (Geyser, Jito, Anchor), EVM Internals, Smart Contracts, DeFi, AMM (Curve, Uniswap).
• Architecture: High-Frequency Trading (HFT), Low-latency systems, Distributed Systems, Microservices.
• Infrastructure: Tokio, Async Rust, Kafka, gRPC, Zero-copy serialization, Kubernetes, Docker.

Experience
Sinior Rust Developer (HFT, Algo-Trading)
Bitsgap 2023 - 2025
Leading crypto trading platform offering automated trading bots and portfolio management. ◦ Architected a distributed trading engine processing 60k RPS with lock-free structures in Rust, ensuring zero-downtime execution. ◦ Scaled to 50k+ concurrent subscriptions by sharding and lock-free parallel execution. ◦ Eliminated serialization overhead between microservices by implementing a zero-copy binary protocol.
Backend Rust Engineer (Web3 Infrastructure)
Cloudless Lab 2022 - 2023
Cloudless Labs is building Fluence, a decentralized serverless compute platform. ◦ Automated managing Kubernetes cluster by developing the lightmare operator to sync on-chain ”Desired State” with infra state. ◦ Designed a generic blockchain connector abstracting distinct chain protocols, adopted by 4+ internal microservices.
Senior Software Engineer (KasperskyOS)
Kaspersky 2021 - 2022
KasperskyOS is operating system with Kaspersky Cyber Immunity properties for secure internet-enabled embedded systems. ◦ Implemented dependent package management in Execution Manager and Package Manager ◦ Saved the team 245 hours of work time by writing step-by-step instructions, delving deep into the problem
Software Engineer, Mail.ru Group Tarantool Core team
Google Summer of Code, Tarantool 2021 - 2021
Enhanced Tarantool C++ connector, which is based on compile-time MsgPack encoder/decoder. ◦ Implemented user authorization, execute and prepare methods for dealing with SQL queries, using iproto binary protocol ◦ Saved a month of work and avoided the implementation of futile optimization by doing profiling by learning Perf and Flame Graphs
Software Engineer, Tarantool Core team
Mail.ru Group 2018 - 2019
Tarantool is an open-source in-memory computing platform used by the biggest tech companies in Russia. ◦ Designed a new index powered by the HyperLogLog algorithm ◦ Implemented a proof of concept for a method that saved backward compatibility and improved performance by 66% over theprevious proposed method by implementing all methods and benchmarking
