Hello 👋, I'm Cezary Olborski

CTO | Architect & Team Builder | Engineering Manager | Seasoned Backend (Rust, Java, Python) Engineer

Blockchain Enthusiast

Automation Advocate | DevOps/NoOps Evangelist

Working at Koinly — reconstructing complex crypto history across chains, exchanges, and DeFi protocols, and turning fragmented activity into clear, consistent, and reliable data.


czareko

I split my time between Poland 🇵🇱 and Indonesia 🇮🇩

  • 🚀 Currently at Koinly, solving complex engineering problems around crypto history and turning fragmented data into something understandable, consistent, and reliable:

    • Architecture & Engineering: Designing and evolving systems for ingesting, reconstructing, and processing crypto activity at scale
    • Crypto Data & Protocols: Deep work across blockchains, exchanges, DEXs, DeFi protocols, staking, and other crypto ecosystems
    • Multi-chain Systems: Building scalable approaches for EVM, Solana, and other chains, across RPCs, indexers, and data providers
    • Protocol Reconstruction: Turning transactions, events, transfers, and protocol-specific behavior into a consistent representation of what actually happened
    • Engineering Leadership: Setting technical direction, reviewing architecture and code, improving engineering quality, and building strong engineering teams
    • Agentic Development & AI: Integrating AI agents into real-world engineering workflows — from research and implementation to testing and code review — with strong emphasis on verification, human oversight, and engineering quality
  • 🧭 My broader experience spans:

    • Software & Solution Architecture — distributed systems, backend platforms, cloud infrastructure, integrations, identity, and security
    • Blockchain Engineering — Layer 1 architecture, consensus, P2P networking, governance, Substrate, Rust, post-quantum cryptography, and ZK
    • Crypto & DeFi — DEXs, smart contracts, algorithmic trading, market-making, liquidity, and multi-chain data
    • Infrastructure & DevOps — cloud platforms, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, infrastructure automation, and NoOps
    • Technology Leadership — technical strategy, engineering teams, hiring, mentoring, and taking products from idea to production

I have 20 years of experience in IT projects, but the technologies and skills listed are limited to those I’ve "worked with" in the past six years.

"worked with" - I have at least tried it locally in a non-trivial business case, but in most cases I did way more.


🔭 Primary programming languages

Rust Rust Java Java Python Python

🎛️ Libraries and frameworks related to Rust

Backend & Async: Tokio | Axum | Tower | Reqwest

Data & Persistence: SeaORM | PostgreSQL | CSV

Blockchain & Protocols: Polkadot SDK | libp2p | Alloy | Solana

Testing, Correctness & Reliability: Proptest | Testcontainers | Wiremock | Tracing

I use Rust for production backend systems, large-scale crypto data processing, blockchain and protocol integrations, Layer 1 infrastructure, P2P networking and consensus, Solana and EVM ecosystems, trading systems, and developer tooling.

Currently, I'm building a large-scale Rust backend for aggregating, reconstructing, and reconciling tax-relevant facts across the top 100 DeFi protocols — turning fragmented on-chain activity from multiple chains, protocols, and data providers into a consistent and verifiable representation of what actually happened.

🎛️ Libraries and frameworks related to Java

Spring | Lombok | Gradle | JobRunR | Reactor | Disruptor | Spock | JUnit | Mockito | Hibernate

In the past 5 years, I have used Java to build highly scalable, stateless solutions in microservices and hexagonal architecture, most often utilizing Kafka and deploying to AWS.

🎛️ Libraries and frameworks related to Python

Pandas | Numpy | Prisma | Streamlit | APScheduler | web3.py | Jupyter | Poetry | Hummingbot | FreqTrade

In the past 5 years, I have primarily used Python for crypto trading-related tasks.

🧰 Other programming languages & Frameworks

Solidity | JavaScript | TypeScript | Node.js | React | Express | GraphQL | JQuery | Go | Bash | PHP | Laravel | HTML | Groovy

⛓️‍💥 Blockchain Networks

Polkadot | Solana | Ethereum | Arbitrum | Hyperledger | EOS | VeChain | Cosmos | Perun | Aeternity | IOTA

🔐 Post-Quantum Cryptography & Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Post-Quantum Cryptography: Dilithium | CRYSTALS-Dilithium Plonky2 | Poseidon |

Working on quantum-secure blockchain infrastructure with NIST-approved post-quantum signatures and zero-knowledge proof systems (Plonky2, Poseidon) for scalability.

💱 Crypto Exchanges API integrations

Binance | Uniswap | Raydium | GateIO | KuCoin | Kraken | MEXC | Deribit | Gemini | Ithaca Protocol

🦄 NFT Marketplaces

OpenSea | MagicEden

✉️ Messaging

Kafka | RabbitMQ | ActiveMQ | Artemis

💾 Data storage

DB: Redis | PostgreSQL | MongoDB | RDS | AuroraDB | MsSQL | Oracle | ElasticSearch
Files: IPFS | Arweave | Filecoin | Crust | S3

⚙️ Infra | CI/CD

Deployment: AWS | GCP | Heroku | DigitalOcean | Docker | Kubernetes | Netlify | Vercel | Railway | Cloudflare

Git | CI/CD | Monitoring: GitHub | GitLab | CircleCI | Jenkins | Bitbucket | Prometheus | Grafana | Graylog | Kibana

🌪️ Operating systems:

CentOS | Ubuntu | Debian | Fedora | RedHat | macOS | Windows

Favorite IDE: IntelliJ IDEA

Architecture/Programming mindset:

Microservices, Hexagonal Architecture, Serverless CQRS, ES, WEB3.0, DDD, TDD, Code Review, SOLID, Clean Code, XP.

Blockchain & Infrastructure:

  • Layer 1 blockchain development with Substrate
  • Custom Substrate pallets development (governance, treasury, mining, reversible-transfers)
  • P2P networking architecture with libp2p
  • Consensus mechanisms (PoW/QPoW) and mining infrastructure
  • CLI development and developer tooling
  • Infrastructure automation (Docker, Prometheus, Grafana)
  • WebAssembly runtime development - all amazing substrate problems with no_std, compatibility, unstable fixes and so on.

Development on Steroids: Daily driver: IntelliJ & Cursor. I'm all about that sweet spot between letting AI do the heavy lifting and keeping the architecture clean. Not just vibe coding – it's about smart automation that actually makes sense and doesn't turn your codebase into spaghetti.


🏆🏆🏆 I hold over 50 professional certifications in the areas of programming, architecture, and project management.
