Rust
Consulting.

Getting started with Rust is straightforward. Getting the surrounding infrastructure right — reproducible environments, fast CI, well-structured Cargo workspaces — takes more work. I help teams set up Rust projects that are easy to build, test, and maintain from day one.

My background is in build systems, developer productivity, and reproducible environments — and all of that applies directly to Rust. I've built Rust projects in Nix-based environments, worked through the toolchain and packaging model in depth, and bring the same structured approach to Rust that I apply to Gradle and NixOS work. If you're introducing Rust to your stack and want the surrounding infrastructure done properly, I can help.

Areas of expertise

Reproducible Rust environments with Nix

Set up Nix-based development environments for Rust projects that pin the toolchain, system dependencies, and development tools — eliminating 'works on my machine' problems across the team.

Cargo workspace structure

Design well-structured Cargo workspaces for multi-crate projects — clear crate boundaries, shared dependency management, and a layout that scales as the codebase grows.

CI/CD setup for Rust

Set up fast, reliable CI pipelines for Rust projects with caching, cross-compilation, and test coverage — built on GitHub Actions or your preferred CI platform.

Introducing Rust to your stack

Practical guidance for teams adopting Rust alongside existing languages — where to start, how to structure the project, and how to build confidence incrementally.

Training and adoption support

Hands-on sessions to help your team get productive with Rust tooling, the Cargo ecosystem, and development workflows specific to your project.

Ready to modernize your build system?

Five years building developer productivity tooling at Gradle Inc., co-founder of TestLens, and a decade of open source work across the JVM ecosystem. I bring that depth to your project — whether you're migrating to Gradle, optimizing builds, or adopting NixOS for reproducible infrastructure.
