<p>SEEKING WORK:
Location: Dubai, UAE
Remote: Yes, working with EU/US time zones<p>Willing to relocate: Yes, for a strong match<p>Technologies: Rust, Golang, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Next.js, React, Postgres, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana, Ruby on Rails, Zig, EVM, DeFi<p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/allnil" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/allnil</a><p>Résumé/CV: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i8Ob4fzTW-G-yPboUIzkXh6H" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i8Ob4fzTW-G-yPboUIzkXh6H</a>...<p>Email: m.dev.nil@proton.me<p>I’m a senior generalist engineer with founding-style ownership. I like building systems end-to-end: protocol and product code, backend platforms, infrastructure, internal tools, and product-facing surfaces. Several times I was either an initial or an early hire in small and large-scale projects and products.<p>For the last two years, I was a founding engineer at Load Network, an early-stage L1 EVM chain with Arweave-based data settlement. I worked across the stack: developed protocol-level abstractions, consensus and execution clients, bootstrapped infrastructure, DevOps, and smart-contract prototypes. I also built private AI agent harnesses, ran multi-agent tests, and used LLMs for spec review and cross-client protocol design research and data gathering.<p>Before that, I spent six years in gamedev building backend platforms for massive-scale games at Strikerz/UFL (uflgame.com) and Vizor Games. I was an early hire, working directly with the CTO to build the infrastructure and design the system from the ground up. I engineered microservices for matchmaking, game economy/payments, quests, auth, moderation, and data pipelines (Kafka, Postgres, ClickHouse). I also managed Kubernetes, observability, internal admin tooling in Python/JS, and took part in high-stakes production launches.<p>I built my engineering foundation in enterprise Business Intelligence and Data Architecture. I shipped large-scale data warehouses (OLAP) for global companies (pharma, logistics), writing heavily optimized Oracle PL/SQL and T-SQL.<p>Open source: Merged contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem, including the Reth client in Rust, Flashbots SUAVE, and Alloy.<p>These days, I'm spending more time on product-facing surfaces (React, Rails), exploring Zig, and using LLMs for the right dose of entropy and speed.<p>Looking for: founding engineer, senior/staff software engineer, full-stack or backend roles where broad ownership and technical depth matter.</p>
