Senior Software Engineer Rust & C++ · Systems & Distributed Architectures · High-Performance Applications
Senior systems engineer with 15+ years of experience building backend and distributed systems, currently focused on Rust for high-assurance services spanning networking protocols, edge coordination, and authentication infrastructure. I care deeply about architectural clarity, explicit boundaries, and automated testing.

- quelay — QUIC-based stream relay daemon in Rust for satellite and high-latency link environments. Implements priority scheduling via Deficit Round Robin, wire-level bandwidth enforcement, and lossless stream recovery. Validates BBR congestion control as a 4–5× throughput improvement over NewReno on degraded BLOS links.
- mom-rpc — published Rust crate providing RPC over message-oriented middleware (AMQP, DDS, MQTT). Decouples application logic from broker mechanics while preserving explicit control over reliability, routing, and feature composition.

- What the Cloudflare Outage Teaches Us About Production Rust
QUIC-based stream relay daemon written in Rust, designed for satellite and high-latency link environments.
Highlights
- Priority scheduling via Deficit Round Robin with wire-level bandwidth enforcement
- Lossless stream recovery across link outages using a three-pointer spool buffer
- Retransmit accounting for accurate bandwidth allocation under degraded conditions
- Validates BBR as a 4–5× throughput improvement over NewReno (750 ms RTT, 5% packet loss)
- Maintains configured bandwidth allocation within ±3% under impairment
- Docker-based link simulation harness using
