About Jesús Pérez
Rust developer and infrastructure consultant passionate about self-hosted solutions, open source technologies, and building resilient systems that organizations can truly own and control.
My Journey
With over three decade of experience in software development, I have witnessed the evolution of technology from monolithic architectures to cloud-native solutions. What drives me today is helping organizations reduce their dependencies on external services while building more resilient, performant systems.
My focus on Rust stems from its unique combination of performance, safety, and expressiveness. It's a language that enables building systems that are both fast and reliable, making it perfect for the self-hosted infrastructure solutions I advocate for.
The Web3 space, particularly the Polkadot ecosystem, represents the future of decentralized computing. I work with teams to leverage these technologies in practical, business-oriented ways.
