About

Hey there! I'm Igor, a lead software engineer with over nine years of software development expertise (mostly Rust, C and C++) and four years specializing in blockchain and zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technologies. I hold a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo and have dedicated my career to building resilient systems and breaking down complex concepts to help others succeed in their programming journeys. Whether it's diving deep into blockchain applications or leveraging Rust for high-performance solutions, I’m here to share my insights and passion for problem-solving.

My background spans system design, compilers, and low-level programming, where I've honed the skills to optimize performance and streamline complex processes. Mentoring is a true passion for me—I enjoy guiding others, learning through the process, and seeing mentees progress on their unique paths. There’s nothing more rewarding than being part of their journey and helping them achieve their goals. When I'm not mentoring or programming, you’ll find me experimenting with new baking recipes or perfecting my serve on the tennis court. Let’s connect, learn, and maybe swap a recipe or two along the way!

I highly recommend Igor as a mentor for anyone looking to level up in systems programming or blockchain. His deep expertise in Rust, and ZK tech made every session packed with practical, technically grounded insights. He has a sharp ability to cut through complexity and focus on what matters—no fluff, just real engineering guidance. A great mentor for serious technical growth.

Igor is a fantastic mentor that shows exemplary command of the Rust language. He clearly has great experience in contributing rigorous production-grade code to open-source repositories and elucidates best practices. He also gave great career advice for junior engineers. Highly recommend!
