I work on backend systems, automation, distributed applications and infrastructure — I like taking a problem apart, understanding it fully, and building the system from the ground up rather than bolting features onto something that already exists.
Around 3 years of hands-on experience (2 outside of school projects), covering personal, open-source and commercial work. My approach is simple: think through the design before writing code, prefer known patterns over cleverness, and keep iterating on something until it actually holds up.
A few projects I'd point to first: Chelicera, an OSINT-oriented crawler in Go with real architecture behind it; Stinger, a hybrid Go/Python SMTP verifier with a hand-written protocol implementation, fully open-sourced; and Proxyc, a C rewrite of an earlier tool built around async I/O instead of thread-per-connection. Between them they're a decent cross-section of how I actually build things.
This repository is my portfolio. Every directory has its own README.md, so you can get a quick sense of what's inside before going deeper — development/ for projects and technical work, services/ for what I can be hired to do, about/ for background, philosophy and FAQ, and osint/ for OSINT-related work.
