Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolQuentin Perez is a systems-oriented software engineer with 12 years of experience building low-level and backend systems, currently interning at Apple and based in Cambridge. Trained at 42 Paris and ISART Digital, he cut his teeth on OS, bootloader, kernel and networking projects where the rule was “what you didn’t code you cannot use,” which shaped a deep C/C++ and secure-coding mindset. He has led backend teams (Head of Backend at Zenly), co-founded a startup, and contributed significant Rust work to the ScyllaDB async CQL driver as well as build and deployment improvements to moul/assh. Comfortable across embedded virtualization, cloud storage, and distributed databases, he combines practical production experience with active open-source contributions and a penchant for tackling edge cases in protocol and type handling.

Async CQL driver for Rust, optimized for ScyllaDB!
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:1 review, 6 commits, 3 PRs in 23 days
Contributions summary:Quentin primarily contributed to the ScyllaDB Rust driver's core functionality. Their work included implementing the `Empty` CQL value, crucial for handling edge cases with timestamps and optional values, and refactoring the `cql_to_rust` module, improving the driver's ability to correctly parse data from CQL responses into Rust types. They also addressed topology-related issues and enhanced the driver's session management by optimizing the schema version fetching and streamlining the handling of values. Additionally, they removed `ValueList` implementations.
