Rust backend and infrastructure engineer with 20 years building distributed systems, now building full time in Web3.
What I have shipped in Rust:
- Zeropass: zero-trust password sharing, built so secrets can be shared without trusting a central store.
- Multi-chain RPC tooling: tooling for working across multiple chains from a single Rust codebase.
- Bitcoin HD wallet CLI: wallet creation and signing using BIP39, ECDSA and hashing.
Currently building a Solana indexer, Arbitrade bots as well.
I work in systems programming and data structures in Rust, Python and TypeScript. I am well versed in zk-SNARKs, ECDSA, BIP39 wallet creation and hashing, and I completed Polkadot Blockchain Academy training in blockchain fundamentals.
