Top expert inRust-Based Software Development
Ed Page is a Senior Staff Open Source Software Engineer with 17 years of experience building developer tooling, low-level systems, and polished user experiences across C++, Python, Rust, and Linux. Based in Texas, he currently supports the Rust developer tooling ecosystem at Futurewei and has a long history of driving build, CI, and release automation improvements at companies like Duo Security and National Instruments. A prolific open-source maintainer and contributor, his work touches foundational Rust projects including cargo, toml, clap, and high-profile utilities like bat and cargo-release, where he modernized manifest handling and automated workspace dependency updates. He combines hands-on refactors—migrating code to safer libraries like toml_edit and consolidating serde-based configuration—with a product-minded focus on developer productivity and maintainability. Known for improving error messages, upgrading MSRVs, and smoothing deprecations across ecosystems, he brings both deep systems experience and a knack for making tooling more robust and user-friendly.
