ENGINEERING / RESEARCH / OPEN SOURCE
Systems engineer focused on agent infrastructure, local-first software, networking, security and open source. Published researcher, Linux-first builder, and a strong believer that architecture should be judged by failure modes—not diagrams.
SELECTED WORK / 07
Only the projects from the original portfolio, plus Braids and LIWM. Every tile opens the real project; the layout is the index.
Private collaborative canvas for people and AI agents.
A native-feeling semantic image-search client.
Multi-factor presence verification designed to resist proxy marking and spoofing.
Browser-to-browser file and text transfer.
Minecraft-side music control through a local Spicetify bridge.
Engineering rigor for coding agents: evidence, fallbacks, failure paths and verification.
Auditable, provenance-gated intent and memory infrastructure for coding agents.
RESEARCH / UPSTREAM ENGINEERING
Research and contributions are useful because someone else can inspect the assumptions.
Design and Deployment of a Hybrid AI/ML Network Security System on ARM Clusters for Edge Environments
Hybrid signature filtering and quantized neural inference designed for inline detection on low-power ARM nodes. The work focuses on practical edge constraints rather than treating compute as unlimited.
Upstream work across drift detection, UI state synchronization, accessibility, storage controls and shell integration. This is the kind of engineering I value: changes made inside an existing system where compatibility and regressions matter.
PROFILE
I am a backend and systems engineer specializing in robust architecture, network performance, Linux and cybersecurity. I work from first principles: understand the data flow, trust boundaries, control paths and failure modes before choosing the abstraction.
AI is an execution multiplier for me, not a substitute for owning the architecture. I value performance, clarity and maintainability over novelty.

I believe in thinking from first principles — understanding data flow, control paths, and failure modes before writing a single line of code. I value performance, clarity, and maintainability over novelty. Given sufficient time and access, I focus on understanding the problem deeply and then building reliable, maintainable solutions.
Writing is where I slow down enough to examine assumptions, ambiguity, people, systems and the uncomfortable gap between what sounds true and what survives scrutiny.
OUTSIDE ENGINEERING
Photography, art, philosophy, music, mountains and writing give the technical work somewhere human to return to.
