I've been writing Rust professionally since 2016, starting at a cloud infrastructure company where I helped build distributed systems handling millions of requests per second. I became a core contributor to the Tokio project in 2018 and have since focused on making async Rust more accessible to newcomers.

My sessions focus on practical, real-world async patterns — not just theory. We'll work through your actual codebase, debug tricky lifetime issues in async contexts, and build intuition for when to use channels vs shared state vs message passing.

I especially love helping developers who are coming from Go or Node.js understand the Rust async model and why it's fundamentally different (and more powerful).
