Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRahul Muttineni is a founder and systems-minded software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance, correctness-focused infrastructure and language tooling. He created Eta, a Haskell dialect on the JVM with ~3k GitHub stars, and has leveraged that deep language and runtime expertise across roles from CTO to staff engineer. Rahul specializes in performance engineering, developer experience, and reproducible observability, having led migrations to self-hosted stacks, saved $1M+ in AWS costs, and scaled services to tens of thousands of DAUs. More recently he’s been building Rust-based trading DSLs that compile to WebAssembly, deterministic backtesting platforms, and AI-driven strategy discovery — combining spec-driven development with agent orchestration to prioritize speed and correctness. Colocated in the Randstad, he ramps quickly into new domains and consistently shares learnings through open-source contributions and conference talks.
