Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniil Polyakov is a Senior Rust Developer with eight years of experience building high-performance systems in blockchain, HFT, and systems programming. He was a core maintainer of Hyperledger Iroha 2, redesigning cryptography, WASM smart-contract and execution layers for a production-grade permissioned ledger used in CBDC projects. At an HFT firm he optimized backtesting pipelines and order book matching—delivering up to 50x speedups and multi-fold reductions in initialization and run times through clever caching and downsampling. He maintains Rust open-source projects including a GROTH16 zk-SNARK from-scratch implementation and a Rust-based Telegram password manager he uses daily, reflecting a practical focus on cryptography and secure tooling. Comfortable both architecting complex systems and digging into low-level perf problems, he’s now exploring zero-knowledge proofs and seeking roles that merge cryptography, backend scale and strict performance requirements.
