Top SchoolRustie Lin is a production engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in productionizing blockchains, distributed systems, and developer infrastructure from the ground up. As a founding-team staff engineer at Aptos, he launched multiple nets up to mainnet and built the large-scale testing, CI/CD, observability, and load-testing platforms that kept the chain reliable in production. Previously at Novi/Meta he architected Kubernetes and Forge-based e2e testing backends for Diem and scaled secure off-chain governance and node deployments across major clouds. He combines hands-on Terraform/Pulumi, Kubernetes, and cloud expertise with a focus on automation and developer productivity, and has deep experience building chaos and performance testing tooling (including work on Aptos Core and Diem repos). Beyond infra, he scaled blockchain education to 315,000 students worldwide, showing an ability to translate complex systems into teachable programs. Based in Berkeley, he pairs research experience in distributed consensus with pragmatic ops instincts for shipping resilient, observable systems.
