Solana Developer
Senior Rust Engineer
I’m a backend and protocol-focused engineer working primarily in Rust, building real on-chain infrastructure across multiple blockchain ecosystems (including Ethereum, Solana and Sui). My background is in designing reliable backend services, transaction pipelines and smart-contract integrations that operate directly against live networks.
What I’m actively looking for now is a role focused on privacy-preserving systems in crypto — especially areas like zero-knowledge applications, private execution, and protocol-level privacy tooling. I’m motivated by building infrastructure that makes on-chain systems safer and more usable by default, rather than only more scalable or profitable.
I’m seeking a team where I can work close to cryptography and protocol design, contribute Rust-based backend and tooling around ZK or privacy stacks, and grow deeper in applied privacy engineering while shipping production-ready systems.
