Curriculum vitae

Eric Jingryd

Rust Developer · Gothenburg, Sweden

Summary

Rust developer focused on security tooling, system hardening, and Linux infrastructure. Career changer: fifteen years leading operations and teams before completing Systems Sciences coursework at the University of Gothenburg (2023-2025) and committing to software full-time. I build secure, well-structured systems with strong test coverage - most projects ship with 100+ tests and reproducible multi-distribution builds.
