Summary
Ustin Zarubin is a Principal Engineer and startup founder with 11 years of experience building distributed systems, event-sourced architectures, and developer-first data protection solutions. Based in Chattanooga, he leads efforts to prevent exposure of PII and PHI through code-native approaches, combining hands-on engineering with product-minded system design. His background in physics informs rigorous, low-level problem solving—from FPGA experimentation and encryption implementations to production web stacks like React and Node. As co-founder and CEO of Streamdal and now Principal Engineer at Superpower, he bridges research, open source, and operator needs to deliver pragmatic, privacy-first infrastructure. Known for pairing strong UX sensibilities with a focus on observability, he prefers prevention over remediation when it comes to sensitive data.
