Hi there, I'm Adrian Benavides 馃憢

Backend engineer with 10+ years of experience, 5+ of them in Rust and Python across high-performance backend and developer-facing systems. I work on distributed systems, secure networking, and low-level infrastructure. I occasionally write about what I build.

  • 馃敪 Building a C99 library that gives engineers cycle-accurate visibility into compute vs memory-bound bottlenecks across ARM and x86 targets
  • 馃尡 Writing a blog series on Python in Production (architecture, robustness, async & FFI)
  • 馃挰 Ask me about Rust, Python, distributed systems, and embedded
  • 馃 Open to collaborating on Rust projects in the low-level systems space (no_std parsers, fuzzing, secure networking, distributed systems) and Python data projects, especially PyO3 wrappers around high-performance Rust/C code
  • 馃摣 Reach me on LinkedIn or read my blog

Currently building

A lab track on distributed systems, with a focus on correctness and fault tolerance:

  • Hermetic Rust toolchains: reproducible Nix flake cross-compilation for bare-metal ARM, with fuzzing of a no_std binary
  • Secure data buses: field-level envelope encryption for telemetry over untrusted networks, with a deterministic fault-injection harness
  • Multi-sensor track fusion: a dataflow pipeline that fuses noisy sensor streams into a single trustworthy estimate under a hard timing budget
  • Fleet coordination: decentralized task allocation and state sync across partition-prone wireless meshes

Writing

  • Kokonatt Blog: my personal blog where I write about the things I build and learn
  • Python in Production: a series on modern Python covering architecture, robustness, and async concurrency

Open source

  • Ockam: owned the CLI, the primary product surface of this open-source trust infrastructure; wrote core Rust modules including the WebSocket transport and library macros
  • Hobby projects in the embedded domain that got quite popular on Hackster: lora-gps-tracker, esp8266-mqtt-experiments

Learning

Working through binary analysis, applied cryptography, distributed systems, real-time systems.
