Yohan Boogaert - Rust Software Developer

Rust software developer based in Belgium, available for freelance missions and full-time opportunities in remote or hybrid.

I design and build production Rust software end-to-end across consulting and product environments, from systems programming and backend services to developer tooling and team training, with a strong emphasis on architecture, reliability, and long-term maintainability.

I am an active contributor and maintainer in the Rust open-source ecosystem, and I regularly participate in community events such as meetups and conferences.
