Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEliza Weisman is a systems-focused software engineer with 12 years of experience building high-performance, production-critical infrastructure in Rust. Her work spans async runtimes and tooling (Tokio, Tokio Console), HTTP/2 and HTTP libraries (hyper, h2), DNS resolvers, and service-mesh telemetry (Linkerd), with an emphasis on performance, observability, and robustness. She’s contributed deep fixes and refactors—task and threadpool improvements, codec hardening, flow-control testing, TTL/deadline fixes, and improved metrics/tracing—to widely used open-source projects. Currently a software engineer at Oxide Computer Company (which she describes as her dream job), she remains active in upstream Rust ecosystems. A self-described "systems witch" with a BS in computer and environmental science and early experience as a darkroom technician, she brings a meticulous, experimental mindset to systems design.
