about:Systems Engineer focused on high-performance infrastructure and backend architecture. Creator of VelocityDB – a thread-per-core, lock-free Redis alternative written in Rust (utilizing io_uring for persistent O_DIRECT disk I/O, achieving 1.6M+ RPS). I enjoy building low-overhead distributed systems, working with cloud infrastructure (AWS/Docker), and pushing modern multi-core hardware to its limits.
