Summary
🤩
RockstarJack Rusher is a seasoned systems researcher and engineer with 16+ years of experience building high-performance storage, streaming analytics, and semantic-web platforms from the kernel up. He has led technical teams and founded or been the technical core of multiple startups and products—designing log-structured databases, a purpose-built triplestore, self-healing cluster filesystems, and award-winning real-time analytics—many of which were acquired and continue in use today. A former Bell Labs/AT&T kernel hacker now based in Berlin, he combines deep theory (applied math, machine learning, semantic web) with hands-on expertise in C, Lisp dialects, and increasingly Clojure(Script). Notably, his work spans both low-level UNIX/kernel development and large-scale NLP and document-analysis systems, reflecting a rare full-stack mastery of infrastructure and data. He is authorized to work in the EU, UK, and USA and continues to blend art and technology in his current practice.
