Location: Edmonton, Canada Remote: Yes Willing to Relocate: Yes, within Canada Technologies: C++, Rust, Kafka, TypeScript, Express.js, C#, React, PostgreSQL, KDB+ Résumé/CV: https://www.mitul.codes/resume.pdf Email: [email protected] I’m a software engineer who enjoys building fast, reliable systems and solving challenging technical problems. My experience ranges from performance-sensitive trading and backend systems in C++ and Rust to distributed systems, Kafka pipelines, APIs, and full-stack development. I’ve also built projects such as a CPU emulator from the ground up and enjoy working close to the systems level when performance matters. I’m comfortable working across the stack, whether that means optimizing backend infrastructure, designing APIs with TypeScript and Express.js, working with databases and messaging systems, or solving lower-level performance problems. I care about writing clean, maintainable code, learning quickly, and working with teams that enjoy solving difficult engineering problems. I’m currently looking for Software Engineer, Backend Engineer, or Systems Engineer opportunities in Canada. I’m open to remote, hybrid, or relocating within Canada. If your team is hiring, feel free to reach out.

*Location:* Edmonton, Canada *Remote:* Yes *Willing to relocate:* Yes, within Canada

*Technologies:* Rust, C++, C#, TypeScript, Python, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, KDB+, ScyllaDB, Docker, Linux

Most recently, I was a *Senior Software Engineer at Eden*, where I co-authored *FastTelemetry*, an open-source Rust metrics library that replaced the OpenTelemetry SDK on our proxy after it became a bottleneck under millions of ops/sec. Thread-local increment is ~2 ns vs. ~40–400 ns for contended atomics on 16 cores. I also wrote an internal Rust logging library 3× faster than `env_logger`, built the Datadog dashboards the team runs on, and worked on a Redis-backed migration pipeline hitting 100 MB/s.

Before Eden, I spent *18 months at Bitwyre*, rotating through three teams. I built HFT and market-making systems in C++/Python over Kafka, WebSockets, and KDB+ for time-series market data, then designed core primitives for a Layer-1 blockchain that reached *50,000+ TPS* (CUDA-accelerated VM, DAG mempool, Tower BFT consensus). I also co-founded a side project, *ZeroBlock*, where I reduced a critical backend endpoint from 500 ms to 7 ms.

I care most about *systems-level Rust, performance engineering, and infrastructure that has to hold up under real workloads*. I'm equally comfortable in C++, C#, or full-stack TypeScript (React/Next.js/Express) when the problem calls for it. Comfortable working with senior engineers, and I've onboarded and mentored junior developers.

I'm someone who enjoys building fast, reliable systems and solving complex technical problems. Over the past year, I've worked on everything from ultra-low-latency trading engines in C++ and Rust to building a high-performance CPU emulator from the ground up. I’ve had the chance to work with lead backend developers at startups, optimize systems for scale. I’m comfortable working across the stack, whether that’s building APIs with Express.js and TypeScript or diving deep into Kafka pipelines and distributed architectures. I care about writing clean, maintainable code, and I’m always up for learning something new or tackling tough challenges with a team.

With experience at both a financial exchange and a high-frequency trading firm, I have spent the past two years specializing as a low-level C++ developer while also working as a part-time mobile and full-stack web developer. I am highly confident in my ability to develop robust, large-scale solutions that can support hundreds of thousands of users.

I have built and contributed to various complex projects, including external market-making bots for Binance and an Intel 8080 CPU emulator—where I delved deep into the 8080 instruction set and CPU architecture. My expertise spans high-performance systems, networking, and scalable web applications, making me a well-rounded developer capable of tackling challenging technical problems.
