Hello! I love programming. My favourite areas are distributed systems (consensus algos, Google designs like Borg/Bigtable/Spanner/GFS), cryptography like ZK S[NT]ARKS, multi-party computation (MPC), compilers and virtual machines and runtimes (like Erlang or even how PHP was implemented lol), game engines, databases, I hate architecting with React.js but frontend/HTML is fun creatively, I like smart contracts and DeFi protocols (lending, perpetual futures) and the game theory, and blockchains!

Real-life diabetic cyborg.

Crypto Protocols.

• dappnet
• tinychain - implementation of Nakamoto consensus (full blockchain implementation).
• pod-golang - implementation of Pod consensus.
• tendermint-rs - implementation of Tendermint consensus.
• tbtc and tbtc.js
• mergeswap - cross-EVM token bridge using state proofs.
• niacin - a Solidity smart contract deployment tool.

AI hacks.

• 3d-headshot-pipeline - A text-to-3D headshot pipeline for an AI TV show. Uses DreamGaussian, custom live import of 3d .obj's into Unity
• take-modern - an AI-generated art gallery, consisting of a pipeline of models (concept to idea, idea to image prompt, image prompt to image) + an autogenerated portfolio.
• tinyagent - a rudimentary "2025-Jan Claude Code" clone

Zero Knowledge Cryptography,

• giza - a prover for the Cairo ZK-STARK environment.
• quark-blockchain - an experimental blockchain using STARK's and partitioned transactional memory. Closely related to research I did on goliath.

Products.

• dutch-translator: visual Dutch sentence explainer using NLP.
• whoshacking: Spotify's who's listening for hackers. React, Electron, websockets, Express, Go daemon.
• metric: innovative new web app for quantified self, sans tables.

General comsci stuff.

• minilisp: a barebones Lisp implementation in pure JS.
• graphparse: codebase visualisation using PageRank applied to AST's.
• diasim: discrete timestep simulation of diabetic metabolism.
• distributed-systems-study
• tiny-tendermint - a Tendermint from scratch implementation in Go.
