Filipe Azevedo
Rust Engineer
Lisbon, Portugal
Rust engineer. I write the systems and run the infrastructure they live on. Pilot, biker, cat butler.
~/what_i_do
Rust & Go
Backend systems, from low-level protocol work to production microservices
Blockchain & Web3
Smart contracts, on-chain indexing, and decentralized protocol infrastructure
Cloud & Infra
AWS, GCP, Kubernetes on managed and bare metal. I deploy what I write.
Distributed Systems
Event-driven backends, data pipelines, messaging. The stuff between the services.
Runtimes
Building for and around WASM, eBPF, and the EVM.
AI-Augmented Engineering
Giving AI agents the context they need to actually help. MCP servers, review tooling, docs that agents can use.
~/about
I started in infrastructure (sysadmin, DevOps, middleware) and worked my way up the stack into distributed systems and protocol-level work. I still run my own bare-metal Kubernetes clusters and operate the indexers I write.
Most of my work is in Rust, building systems where correctness matters: on-chain indexers, smart contracts handling real money, trading systems where latency counts. I also work on the operational side: on-call culture, CI/CD, runbooks and tooling so teams can move autonomously.
When I'm not working, I'm probably flying ultralight aircraft, on a motorcycle, or being bossed around by eight cats.
