I design and ship deterministic, supply-chain-safe systems in Rust — focusing on performance, correctness, and architectures that eliminate failure modes rather than mitigate them.
4+ years building and deploying Rust across distributed systems, storage engines, embedded targets, and cryptographic primitives. I care deeply about mechanical sympathy, auditability, and long-term maintainability.

rscrypto
Pure-Rust cryptographic primitives with zero C dependencies.
- High-performance CRC implementations (16/24/32/32C/64XZ/64NVME)
- Portable across x86-64, ARM64, RISC-V, s390x, POWER9/P10
- Accepted by IBM for CI/CD usage on mainframe architectures
These projects exist because I value minimal dependency graphs, reproducible builds, and predictable performance.
I’m building a distributed storage engine at @alias-research, approaching its first public release.
The system is centered around a novel epoch-based reclamation primitive that enables:
- Sub-10ns MVCC operations
- Deterministic O(1) garbage collection
- O(1) crash recovery
This allows a unified architecture where KV, OLAP, vector, graph, and streaming workloads operate over the same epoch-versioned data model — not separate engines stitched together.
Key design constraint:
the same bytes everywhere (memory = disk = wire = consensus), enforced by a single GC rule across the entire system.
The implementation is heavily validated using Loom, Shuttle, Kani, and Stateright before anything ships.
Private for now. The open-source work above exists to support and harden this system.
Open to contract or full-time Rust roles.
Remote preferred. Open to relocation (USA or global).
