Senior Backend & Systems Engineer with 16+ years of commercial experience building performance-critical software.
I specialize in modern C++, distributed systems, networking and blockchain infrastructure. My work focuses on performance, scalability, concurrency and system architecture. I'm also actively exploring Rust and modern systems programming.
Open to interesting opportunities in systems programming, distributed systems, blockchain infrastructure, low-latency and high-performance backend development.
