Summary
Jordan Mcqueen is a software engineer and technical lead with a decade of experience building secure, high-performance distributed systems, currently based in Tokyo and focused on Rust and safety-critical tooling at Woven by Toyota. He leads Rust toolchain and compiler efforts, serves on multiple Rust governance and safety committees, and shapes static analysis and security practices for mission-critical systems. Previously he designed large-scale infrastructure at AWS, Stripe, and Google[x] Wing, including payment network primitives and UTM flight-planning auth systems, bringing deep expertise in fault-tolerant, low-latency architectures. An advisor to a fast-growing API security startup and a pragmatic open-source advocate (slow is smooth, smooth is fast), he blends systems-level rigor with a security-first mindset. Notably, he translates aerospace- and payments-grade constraints into practical developer tooling and coding guidelines that make unsafe problems auditable and avoidable.
