I like to find the most optimal and effective ways for machines to solve our problems.
Experience
Senior Software Engineer
NDA Contract — Remote
Jan 2026 – May 2026
Built high-performance Rust APIs for automated digital asset trading on Solana, including real-time asset monitoring.
Reduced system latency by 60% by optimizing concurrency, minimizing memory allocation, and implementing a caching layer.
Built a Redis caching layer that reduced peak-time system load by 40%.
Set up an observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana) for real-time performance and load tracking.
Implemented OAuth 2.0 authentication and payment gateway integrations.
Established Rust development best practices and mentored junior developers.
Software Engineer
Deckers Brands — Goleta, CA (Remote)
Aug 2024 – Dec 2025
Architected an event-driven, multi-region data processing platform in Rust (AWS Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, DynamoDB Streams, S3), processing 1M+ events/day with automated dead-letter recovery and zero data loss across four global regions.
Built a high-throughput ingestion and data access layer (Rust, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL/Aurora, SeaORM) handling 2,000 requests/second with atomic real-time updates and strong consistency.
Designed an end-to-end secure file delivery pipeline (Lambda, S3, Secrets Manager, AWS Transfer Family/SFTP, PGP encryption), delivering authenticated partner transfers in under 30 seconds.
Developed async Rust integrations (Tokio, Reqwest) with third-party APIs, including automatic token refresh and retry/backoff handling for transient failures.
Lead Developer
PrivID — Toronto, Canada (Remote)
Jan 2023 – Jul 2024
Built high-performance, low-latency Rust APIs for critical, scalability-sensitive services.
Implemented Zero-Knowledge systems (ZK-SNARKs/ZK-STARKs) for secure, verifiable computation.
Developed Rust-based WebAssembly (WASM) modules for efficient client-side processing.
Deployed and operated containerized services (Docker, Kubernetes) on Linux-based AWS production environments.
Designed GitLab CI/CD pipelines that cut release cycles by 25%.
Mentored junior developers and contributed to a patent-backed system design.
Blockchain Developer
NEAR Foundation — Remote
Jan 2022 – Aug 2022
Assisted companies launching NFTs and other services in Web3, navigating new technological landscapes.
Delivered training courses and workshops on Rust development with an emphasis on blockchain, and authored tutorials on smart contract development and deployment.
Contributed feedback and code to the NEAR Protocol SDK, enhancing platform functionality and developer experience.
Implemented real-time blockchain event listeners, ensuring data consistency and responsiveness.
Built an Aurora (NEAR's EVM-compatible layer) integration connecting NEAR with Ethereum, including Solidity smart contracts.
Web Developer (Freelance)
IT Services & Consulting — Divinópolis, Brazil (Remote)
Oct 2020 – Dec 2021
Built full-stack React features using Node.js and Rust for multiple clients; deployed Rust services on GCP and AWS.
Implemented WebAssembly modules for browser-based processing of heavy data workloads.
Resolved critical JavaScript bugs in client-side applications, improving user experience.
Projects
Generic Multi-threaded Worker Library
RustConcurrencyMulti-threadingChannelsGenericsTrait-based API
A published Rust crate that fans customized parallel computations out across configurable worker threads over channels — implement three small generic traits once (the input, the output, and how one becomes the other) and it handles the thread orchestration, letting the workload push the CPU as hard as it can.
An API gateway routes to an order service, which reserves stock from a Redis-cached inventory service over mutually-authenticated TLS gRPC and publishes an event that notification and analytics services consume asynchronously over NATS — traced end to end with OpenTelemetry into Jaeger, with Prometheus metrics on a provisioned Grafana dashboard.
