I build quietly fast
backends.

Mostly observability infrastructure and agent-facing tools, mostly on Solana, increasingly in rust. Tokio, axum, tonic, and a healthy respect for bounded channels. Open-source contributor; previously devrel at Consensys, Gaia, and Developer DAO. I write, mentor, and occasionally co-run a Solana dev guild.

in the longer version

Four years of shipping software, a detour through devrel, and a slow but stubborn move toward systems work in rust.

I came to rust through web3. First as a devrel engineer building dapps, templates, and tooling for MetaMask, Linea, and Gaia, then as the kind of engineer who reads other people's flamegraphs for fun. These days I'm focused on observability, real-time pipelines, and the unglamorous middle of distributed systems.

If you want the long version (the projects, the talks, the things I've shipped) the about page has it all.
