Location: Edmonton, Canada Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Yes, within Canada Technologies: Rust, C++, C#, TypeScript, Python, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, KDB+, ScyllaDB, Docker, Linux Most recently I was a Senior Software Engineer at Eden, where I co-authored FastTelemetry, an open-source Rust metrics library that replaced the OpenTelemetry SDK on our proxy after it became a bottleneck under millions of ops/sec. Thread-local increment is ~2 ns vs ~40–400 ns for contended atomics on 16 cores. I also wrote an internal Rust logging library 3x faster than env_logger, built the Datadog dashboards the team runs on, and worked on a Redis-backed migration pipeline hitting 100MB/s.

Before Eden, I spent 18 months at Bitwyre rotating through three teams. I built HFT and market-making systems in C++/Python over Kafka, WebSockets, and KDB+ for time-series market data, then designed core primitives for a layer-1 blockchain (CUDA-accelerated VM, DAG mempool, Tower BFT consensus) and helped maintain core trading engines. I co-founded a side project, ZeroBlock, where I dropped a critical backend endpoint from 500ms to 7ms.

I care most about systems-level Rust, performance engineering, and infrastructure that has to hold up under real workloads. Equally happy in C++, C#, or full-stack TypeScript (React/Next/Express) when the problem calls for it. Comfortable working with senior engineers; have onboarded juniors.
