About this service

Summary

Build fast, safe, and modern software with Rust. I bring 9+ years of engineering experience, including deep expertise in building reliable systems with Rust — from backend services and microservices to CLI tools and systems-level components.
Whether you’re starting a greenfield project or need to scale/refactor an existing Rust codebase, I focus on delivering clean, performant, and idiomatic Rust code tailored to your use case. With a strong foundation in systems architecture, async runtimes (Tokio, Actix), and DevOps processes, I help teams build scalable and maintainable Rust-based systems.
Let’s bring your idea to life — efficiently and safely.

Process

Initial Consultation We discuss your project scope, goals, and timelines. You share existing docs, repos, or ideas.
Planning & Estimate I break down tasks into hourly estimates and define milestones or weekly syncs if needed.
Development I start coding using idiomatic Rust and communicate progress frequently.
Testing & Handoff Code is delivered with tests and documentation. I assist with integration and setup if needed.
Ongoing Support (Optional) Available for continuous dev, refactoring, or scaling work depending on your project evolution.

FAQs

  • What kind of Rust projects do you work on?

    APIs with Actix/Axum, CLI tools, data pipelines, concurrent processing, distributed systems, and system utilities.

  • Can you integrate Rust with other systems (e.g., Node.js, Python)?

    Yes. I can build FFI-safe libraries or WebAssembly modules that interop with JS, Python, or other runtimes.

  • Can you help migrate a service to Rust?

    Yes — I can help refactor or rebuild performance-critical modules from Go, Node.js, or Python into Rust.

  • Do you work with async runtimes?

    Absolutely. I’m fluent in Tokio, async-std, and common ecosystem libraries for async/concurrent Rust.

  • Will I own the code?

    Yes, you’ll receive full rights to the codebase upon delivery, including licensing if required.

  • How do we collaborate?

    You can grant repo access on GitHub/GitLab and we can communicate via email, Slack, or any preferred tool.
