Justin Schuldt is a software engineer with a decade of experience building distributed systems, full-stack applications, and network automation, currently based in Chicago. He has worked across high-performance trading and crypto firms (Jump Trading / Jump Crypto) and led end-to-end product and infrastructure efforts—from user-facing React/Node apps and real-time monitoring to backend gRPC services and DevOps. Notably, he contributed to the Wormhole blockchain interoperability project by adding a public gRPC endpoint, subscription/channel handling, proto definitions, and event forwarding to BigTable, demonstrating an ability to bridge protocol work with production observability. His background in finance-facing engineering and interest in digital assets gives him a practical blend of low-latency systems thinking and product-focused delivery. Colleagues rely on him to scope, implement, and operationalize complex systems that need both developer ergonomics and production resilience.
