Meet the Mentors
Every mentor is an active open-source maintainer. You learn by shipping real code into their crate — not toy projects.
Ana has been contributing to the async Rust ecosystem for 5 years and is a core maintainer of tokio-stream. She loves helping developers understand the mental model behind async runtimes and futures composition.
Marcus is a performance-obsessed Rustacean who has spent years optimizing serde_json's parser. He specializes in zero-copy deserialization, benchmarking techniques, and understanding where your program's time actually goes.
Lena built her first production Rust API in 2019 and has been hooked ever since. As an axum contributor, she deeply understands the Tower middleware ecosystem and helps developers design clean, composable web services.
