Founder of @ledgerz-io. (Ex-Staff Engineer at @monzo)

avianlabs

Key Strengths

Demonstrated interest in low-level programming and system internals through projects like 'php-scrypt' (C++, M4, Shell) and 'ForkingGoRuntime' (Go, Assembly, C++).
Experience with Go, C++, and Assembly, which are highly relevant for embedded systems.
Proactive learning evidenced by participation in Advent of Code in multiple languages (Go, Zig).
Current role as 'Embedded Systems Engineer' at avianlabs, indicating direct experience in the target domain.

Cultural & Operational Fit

Cultural Fit Analysis

The candidate's personal projects demonstrate a strong inclination towards exploring different programming languages (Go, Zig, C++, PHP, Java) and tackling complex technical challenges (interpreters, hashing algorithms, runtime internals). This indicates a curious and self-driven individual who is likely to adapt well to new technologies and problem domains. The current role as an Embedded Systems Engineer aligns directly with the target role, suggesting a good fit for the technical culture.
