Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Grund is a Principal Architect and Rust-focused software engineer with 13 years of experience building resilient distributed systems and orchestration platforms. He has led architecture and re-architecture efforts at DDN and Intel, replacing Python and monoliths with Rust + async IO and WebAssembly to boost performance and scalability. Joe designed a pure-Rust orchestration engine capable of running thousands of parallel tasks over SSH or gRPC and migrated front-end SPAs to Rust/WebAssembly for increased interoperability. An active open-source contributor, he’s improved backend compiler integrations (Fable) and contributed front-end features to the Seed Rust web framework, showing comfort across language boundaries from F# to TypeScript. Based in Orlando, he blends hands-on engineering with project leadership and a knack for pragmatic rewrites that measurably reduce resource use and increase resiliency. Unexpectedly, his background also spans early PHP/Django and rich-client work, giving him a rare end-to-end perspective from legacy stacks to cutting-edge systems.
