  • CockerA prototype platform to design an app as a graph of services and deploy it on Kubernetes: sandbox to try it, production to expose it.Projects
  • RaytracerA C++ raytracer where everything (shapes, materials, lights, output) is a plugin, sped up with a BVH, with a live preview window.Projects
  • RoboCarA small real car that drives itself around a track: a camera, a lidar-like view of the road lines, and a model that learned from human driving.Projects
  • CVRIETwo machine-learning studies using only scikit-learn: classifying chest X-rays, and grouping patient testimonies into symptom clusters with no labels.Projects
  • MyTeamsA Teams-like chat in Rust: a multi-client server, a command-line client, a text protocol written as an RFC, and data that survives restarts.Projects
  • ArcadeA retro game console in C++ where games and screens are plug-in libraries: swap the game or the graphics (terminal, SDL, SFML) while it runs.Projects
  • Masked DeliveryA game made in a weekend for Global Game Jam 2026: pick the right mask for each caller, then survive the drive, with penalties that stack up.Projects
  • 42shA Unix shell written in C, tcsh-style: pipes, logic operators, globbing, aliases, variables, line editing and history, checked against Bash.Projects

  • PipetoA security audit of a nuclear-reactor console full of planted vulnerabilities: find them, rank them, patch them and prove the fixes with tests.Projects
  • TardisCleaning SNCF train-delay data, training a model to predict delays, and a Streamlit dashboard. The model barely beat guessing, and the page says so.Projects

Layered drink · build, float, garnish

Method

How it is made: poured in order of density, garnished last. Hover, focus or tap a layer.

Mindset

Curious, calm, always a beginner.

I take things apart to see how they work, and I am comfortable starting without every answer. Failures are data, error messages are a roadmap, and I never know everything, so I get good at finding out.

  • Curiosity
  • Resilience
  • Humility

Thinking

See the whole system.

I go back to first principles, then look at how the parts interact and what they set off second-hand. I trust measurements over habit, and I ask what happens off the happy path: ten clicks, a dropped connection.

  • First principles
  • Systems
  • Edge cases

Method

Constraints first, then trade-offs.

I pin down goals and limits before building, then balance cost, speed and quality, knowing there is no perfect answer. Big problems get cut into small modules, and every shortcut is debt I keep track of.

  • Requirements
  • Trade-offs
  • Modularity

Craft & Ecosystem

Ship small, automate, leave it better.

I prototype early, learn from real use, and chase the root cause rather than the symptom. I automate the repetitive, refactor before I commit, and write for the next person, who is often me, standing on the shoulders of open source.

  • Iterate
  • Automate
  • Empathy
