Hi, my name is Nikita. I am a low-level Rust engineer.
I work at Cloudflare. My focus is databases and query engines. Previously, I worked on MongoDB, ClickHouse and Yandex Database. I also worked on storage solutions in an NDA high-frequency trading company and performance optimisations in Prisma ORM.
Outside of work, I play and write role-playing games.
