Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnne Castrillon is a versatile software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance systems, scalable backend services, and polished front-end applications across startups and enterprises. Currently developing systems-level Rust for Zoox’s data-intensive caching for self-driving cars, she combines low-level optimization skills with full-stack fluency in Kotlin, Node.js, Ruby, Vue/React, and Swift. Her unusual blend of work and hobby—cycle-accurate emulators for Gameboy through N64 implemented in Rust, C++, TypeScript, and WebAssembly—drives a pragmatic mastery of performance, JIT techniques, and cross-platform porting to iOS. She has migrated legacy PHP stacks to Kotlin microservices, led Kafka-based integrations, and improved large-scale ingestion pipelines, bringing both operational rigor and product-focused UX improvements. Based in Oakland, she pairs a recent MS in Computer Science with a track record of mentoring engineers and shipping production services that balance speed, reliability, and developer experience.
