Experienced Software Engineer and Rust Language Expert

I am an experienced software engineer, Rust language expert, startup CTO, and former Department of Defense research computer scientist who has written code for nuclear submarines and built high performance platforms and products in the edtech, fintech, CRE, B2B SaaS, and blockchain spaces. I specialize in solving hard engineering problems and building engineering teams and secure web-scale products from the ground up, including Arist (YC S'20) which I built up from 0 to a team of 11 engineers, SOC 2 Type II compliance, 20% market capture of the Fortune 500, and ultimately a $24m combo series A+B. I also built the backend and initial team behind the kagi.com search engine. Additionally, I am a former core member of the FRAME team at Parity where I had the pleasure of collaborating directly with Gavin Wood (original Ethereum CTO) to develop new features for the Polkadot blockchain ecosystem. Finally, I am the author of several popular Rust crates including macro_magic, docify, and supertrait.
