Engineering systems that

Independent engineer specializing in high-throughput backends, zero-dependency cryptography, Linux & Android internals. I build things that are fast, lean, and don't need a cluster to run.

What I build for clients

Direct implementation. No middlemen, no PM overhead. You get an engineer who understands the stack from bare metal to API surface.

01
High-throughput backends & APIs
Re-architect slow, memory-heavy services into lean Rust or Go engines. Eliminate GC pauses, optimize database concurrency, and scale under extreme traffic without throwing hardware at it.
Rust / Go async I/O WebSocket P99 latency
02
Cryptographic & auth infrastructure
Custom authenticators, WebAuthn Passkey integrations, and hardened storage built around strict trust boundaries, hardware acceleration, and zero external dependency risk.
WebAuthn L3 AES-256-GCM PBKDF2 zero-dep
03
Linux & Android internals
Kernel modules, eBPF telemetry, custom sandboxes, Android HAL integration, and constrained hardware tuning. The kind of work most engineers avoid and few can do well.
eBPF AOSP Binder IPC edge devices
04
Embedded & firmware
ESP32, USB OTG, TinyUSB, constrained firmware. Hardware-software integration where you can't afford a bloated runtime or a reboot every hour.
ESP32-S3 TinyUSB firmware bare-metal
05
Self-hosted infrastructure
Cloud-agnostic, vendor-independent deployments. DNS, VPN, firewall, reverse proxy — the kind of setup you actually own and understand, not a SaaS dependency graph.
self-hosted networking DNS / VPN no lock-in
06
Blockchain & protocol design
Smart contracts, signing systems, on-chain auth, and custom protocol design. Treat cryptography as an engineering discipline, not a buzzword.

Selected work

Public, auditable, and intentionally over-engineered. These exist to demonstrate what's possible with discipline and zero shortcuts.

Pure Rust stdlib CRYPTOGRAPHY

CredShell

Local-first WebAuthn Level 3 Passkey authenticator and encrypted TOTP vault. Zero external crates, zero daemons, hardware-accelerated AES-256-GCM. The kind of security tooling that doesn't phone home.

~0.8 MiB RAM CLOUD IDE

ArkCode

A full cloud development environment — code editor, file tree, terminal PTY, multi-file search, and WebSocket LSP — that fits in under a megabyte of RAM. Runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero.

Let's work

Got a hard problem?

If your backend is slow, your infra is bloated, or you need something built the right way from the start — let's talk. I work with founders, engineering leads, and anyone who cares about the craft.
