Service Operations Manager · Rust Developer
Service Operations Manager at Tallence with a background in Rust, blockchain infrastructure, and zero-knowledge proof systems.
About
I'm a Junior Service Operations Manager at Tallence and one of the first employees of the company's newly established department in Poland.
Previously, I worked as a blockchain and zero-knowledge engineer, building production infrastructure across the proving and verification pipeline. My work included STARK verification, L3 settlement systems, proving infrastructure, and Rust-based tools for blockchain and security applications.
Based in Lublin, Poland. Currently pursuing an MSc in Computer Science at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University while working full-time.

Experience
Tallence Services Poland Sp. z o.o.
Lublin, Poland (Hybrid)- ▸Joined Tallence as one of the first employees of the newly established department in Poland.
Visoft
Kraków, Poland (Remote)- ▸In an ongoing collaboration with Cartridge (New York, USA): implemented the first on-chain STARK verifier on Solana; resolved platform-specific constraints by splitting the verification protocol into Solana-compatible compute units.
- ▸For Cartridge: actively developing sharded execution for the Katana sequencer, enabling parallel transaction processing across multiple execution shards.
- ▸For Cartridge: hardened a mock L3–L2 settlement core contract (Piltover) into a production-ready system; resolved soundness issues, passed a security audit, and shipped for the first L3 run on StarkNet.
- ▸For Cartridge: built Saya, a proving orchestrator that fetches blocks from the sequencer and settles them on L2; implemented end-to-end proving and verification flow with STARK and TEE backend support — enabling games to run on L3 and directly reducing per-transaction costs.
- ▸For Cartridge: built HTTP Prover, a web service wrapping Stone Prover that streamlines the full pipeline from trace generation and configuration to proof output.
- ▸Led NFT deployment for Bank Pekao's ARCHIV3 project on Aleph Zero — first Polish commercial bank to use blockchain for art preservation; delivered PSP34-standard NFTs archived in the Arctic World Archive.
- ▸Built acme-controller, a fully Rust-native library for automated TLS certificate acquisition and renewal via the ACME protocol.
Education
