Summary
Huseyin Gurkan is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 18+ years of experience building high-performance blockchain, AI, and enterprise systems across Rust, Node.js/NestJS, and .NET. He architects custody-grade wallet infrastructure—combining Rust Actix services for performance-critical MPC/HSM components with Temporal-orchestrated NestJS backends and enterprise API gateways. His career spans leading roles from banking core systems to CTO-level custody projects, delivering scalable event-driven architectures with Kafka, gRPC, ScyllaDB and HSM integrations on Azure and AWS. A Certified Bitcoin Professional and pragmatic full-stack developer, he pairs low-level systems programming with hands-on API and frontend work, often migrating legacy banking platforms to modern microservices. Unusually for an architect, he still implements Rust-based AI integrations and builds Rust-first production services himself, signaling a rare blend of systems-level depth and product-focused delivery. Based in London, he is open to senior Rust, Node.js/NestJS and full-stack roles, freelance or permanent.
