0x00 / about
Close to the metal,
close to the wire.
Senior/Staff engineer with 15+ years in backend and systems programming. Deep expertise in networking, low-level programming and video processing with GStreamer, FFmpeg and WebRTC.
I care about high-performance distributed systems, compilers, and the parts of the stack most people would rather not look at.
0x01 / stack
What I'm good at.
languages01
Rust, C, Python
Low-latency distributed systems, high-performance services and embedded applications.

systems02
Systems programming
I know how computers actually do things — and how to make them do it more efficiently. Memory management, concurrency, async.
distributed03
Distributed systems
Clean SOA decomposition, message queues, gRPC, WebSockets.
compilers04
Compilers & languages
Building vole — a compiled systems language designed for AI agents to write and maintain. The compiler is self-hosted and emits native AArch64 and x86-64 code through its own optimizer and assembler.
Previously designed and built a DSL and its compiler for a leading security firm. Deep knowledge of CPython internals.
