About Irina Guberman

With over a decade of experience, my focus lies in building scalable, high-performance distributed systems. Collaborating across teams, I specialize in blockchain architecture, distributed system optimization and scalability, and tools that drive developer efficiency. My mission is to simplify decentralized application development while leveraging cutting-edge Rust solutions.

Experience

1. Principal Rust Engineer Architect

   Neon Labs

   Apr 2024 — Present

   Neon EVM is a project that brings the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to the Solana blockchain, allowing developers to deploy and run Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps) on Solana. It enables Ethereum developers to leverage Solana\'s high throughput, low transaction fees, and parallel processing capabilities without needing to rewrite their dApps or learn new programming languages.* As part of the tracer team work on providing a solution that implements a number of Ethereum RPC methods that allow users to request historical data, emulate hypothetical transactions and trace real transaction data providing support for ethereum debug_ and trace_ methods.* Architect and develop a Solana Geyser Plugin and Filter in Rust, enabling efficient real-time data streaming and processing from the Solana blockchain.* Engineered and executed a database migration from ClickHouse to RocksDB, optimizing data storage for improved performance and scalability.* Led performance evaluation and implemented significant improvements for Kafka and RocksDB data flow, ensuring high-throughput and low-latency data ingestion.* Conducted in-depth analysis of Solana Geyser data streams to design and implement the most efficient and consistent data collection and real-time availability strategies.* Designed and implemented a robust data architecture, including strategic data splitting across multiple epochs and shards, to manage high volumes of Solana blockchain data.* Developed and deployed a Dockerized environment, streamlining local development, enabling seamless testing, and facilitating efficient switching between ClickHouse and RocksDB environments.
