Hello,

My name is Michał Piotrowski, and I am applying for your Rust developer position. I am a senior software engineer specializing in Rust backend systems and distributed services. I have over 18+ years of experience building production software, including the last five years focused primarily on Rust.

Recently, I worked at MedoSync, where I designed and developed Rust backend services for a HealthTech platform supporting hospital workflows, patient payments, and integrations with external healthcare systems. I built payment integration with Global Payments, enabling patients to complete their portion of medical costs before hospital visits, and implemented HL7 integrations connecting hospital systems. I also improved backend workflows, reliability, and maintainability while supporting other engineers with Rust development and backend architecture.

One project that represents my recent backend work is the Octopus server:
https://github.com/metric-space-ai/octopus_server

I designed and developed this backend service for AI applications integrating with LLM providers such as Anthropic, Ollama, OpenAI, and Azure OpenAI. The project uses modern Rust practices and the Axum ecosystem, with a structured architecture and functional tests covering API endpoints, response handling, and critical workflows.

Earlier in my Rust career, I worked on backend services for The Daily Edit, an NLP-based news aggregation platform, where I developed content processing and automation systems using Tokio and Hyper.

Beyond application development, I have contributed upstream to the Rust compiler and Linux kernel projects, which has given me exposure to systems programming, language tooling, and low-level software engineering.

I am currently available for new opportunities and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience with backend development and distributed systems could contribute to your engineering team.

Best regards,
Michal Piotrowski
