He has 7+ years experience as a software engineer with the last 4 years specializing in Rust systems programming and blockchain infrastructure. He is currently working as a part-time Rust Systems Engineer at XXXX where he is actively engaged in rewriting Linux kernel components from C to Rust (a project he has pursued for nearly 1.5 years). This places him at the forefront of modern, memory-safe systems programming. He developed the XDP firewall as a personal project. This firewall mitigates attacks on the deepest level (the NIC driver) by cutting unnecessary traffic, which he specifically notes is valuable for blockchain infrastructure security.

Throughout his career as a Rust Engineer, he has transitioned toward blockchain infrastructure, working on Substrate and Polkadot ecosystem development. His focus is on consensus and systems-level coding, moving beyond simple smart contracts to Layer 1 (building blockchains themselves) and Layer 2 development. He created a Price Oracle pallet for Substrate, which fetches prices from multiple exchanges using direct smart contract calls (unsigned transactions) and saves the prices on-chain, built for MEF infrastructure. Moreover, he led a team of five people to build a Solana DEX (decentralized exchange) completely from scratch. He also worked on a Solana project involving governance, fungible token smart contracts, and a working system mechanism. When he was Rust Core Backend Engineer at XXXX, he was involved building middleware and integrating Salesforce with the main back-end, handling bidirectional syncing, the complete order lifecycle, and user invitation mechanisms. And is responsible for developing comprehensive end-to-end and unit/integration tests.

2.       What skill(s) / experience would you self-describe as strongest or specialist in?

Strongest skills would be Rust systems programming, demonstrating robust expertise in Data Structures and Algorithms and Systems Design. His technical foundation is solidified by proficiency in Rust-C Interoperation and advanced concurrency using Tokio. Currently, his focus is on cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure development, particularly mastering the Substrate ecosystem. He prefers designing and building foundational, Layer 1 blockchain systems and working on off-chain code over merely writing smart contracts, showcasing a deep commitment to systems-level architecture and backend programming within the decentralized technology space.

3.       Do you have the lists of key criteria’s according to the clients’ requirements?

He has 7+ years experience as a software engineer with the last 4 years specializing in Rust systems programming and blockchain infrastructure. He built a complete automated trading system from scratch for United States Stocks trading. The back-end service was built using Rust (80% of the system) with the Axum and Tokio framework stack. The system utilized 20% Pine Script for signal generation. The system received trading signals via TradingView webhooks, performed complex calculations for risk management and position management, and executed automated trades on the US stock market using the Alpaca API. Moreover, he has expertise in low-level programming , kernel-space optimization , async runtime tuning , multithreading , and performance optimization; Web Services API (Actix-web, Axum, Rocket) covers RESTful and WebSocket integrations. He has experience with middleware (integrating proprietary components), GUI development (developed high-performance front-end applications and architecting systems that improved throughput by 13.4% for millions of users.
