I still have availability for consulting/coaching on Rust adoption. I help teams adopt Rust successfully and use it effectively. E.g., Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/blog/tailscale-rs-rust-tsnet-library-preview) who I'm currently working…
I have some limited availability for software engineering consulting with #RustLang. Either to add expertise to a project or to take on a project. Given my time constraints, I'd be a good fit for relatively small projects with high complex…
- How many people can you work with?
Depends on what you need from me and my availability. 1 to 10 across 1 or 2 teams are good numbers. If only some people need hands-on help and some just need occasional support or code review, then I ca…
- How long is an engagement?
Three months is usually good for an initial period. I can stick around longer if needed, but probably for less time per week. It might be useful for me to do more development work at that point, if there are co…

I worked with the LangChain folk on SmithDB earlier this year. It was a great challenge, fun work, and a good example of using async Rust + Vortex/Datafusion + Cloud storage to make a high performance, domain-specific distributed DB. https…
Edited and improved the interop chapter of my error handling guide: https://nrc.github.io/error-docs/rust-errors/interop.html
I've been looking again at my old #RustLang error handling docs. I've edited and improved the Result (https://nrc.github.io/error-docs/rust-errors/result-and-error.html) and panicking (https://nrc.github.io/error-docs/rust-errors/panic.htm…
