Jon Gjengset

Engineer & Educator

Hi there! I'm a Principal Engineer at Helsing, author of Rust for Rustaceans, an avid Rust educator, and a general open-source ethusiast. I have a PhD from the Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems group at MIT, where I was supervised by Robert Morris in my work on Noria, which today continues in the form of a start-up I co-founded called ReadySet.

Before Helsing, I maintained the Rust build infrastructure at AWS. And before MIT, I received an MSc in Networked Computer Systems from UCL in the UK, and a BSc in Information Technology from Bond University in Australia. My various research projects, you can find on the research page.

I occasionally write at length about things I find interesting. You can follow me on various platforms using the links at the top, or join my Discord.

If you've benefited from my work, consider sponsoring me.
