Systems programmer. Compiler tinkerer. Infrastructure builder.
From-scratch language interpreter in C — bytecode VM, static typing, modules, arithmetic, and control flow. Core interpreter working, under active development. "You just have to write your own language at some point."
Statically typed, GC-managed language that transpiles to clean C. Type inference, instance methods, generics, standard library. A from-scratch compiler written entirely in C++.
C++17 agent runtime for DeepSeek-class LLMs. Custom protocol parser, streaming TUI with markdown rendering, inference provider abstraction, tool dispatch with sandbox enforcement, feed engine, and server mode. Built from scratch — no agent frameworks, no bloat.
Self-hosted knowledge management with AI-powered semantic search, knowledge graphs, and RAG pipelines. FastAPI microservices, ChromaDB vector store, Neo4j graphs. Data-sovereign alternative to Notion/Obsidian.
Multi-stage search & synthesis pipeline — 13 search providers across 8 domains, TF-IDF ranking, full-page extraction (crawl4ai), ChromaDB + SQLite FTS5 storage, LLM-powered synthesis with citations. Docker-native, 14 services, Python SDK.

Running on my own hardware:
Core: Email (Postfix, Dovecot, rspamd) · Git (Gitea) · Proxy (Nginx) · DNS/Ad-block (AdGuard) · VPN (WireGuard)
Media: Navidrome (music) · Audiobookshelf · YouTube archiving (yt-dlp)
Development: Build servers · Container registry · Package mirrors · Test labs
All managed as code. All understood at the system level.
Systems architecture and emergent complexity, LLM agent orchestration, compiler design, performance optimization at scale, low-level systems programming, and security.
Dependencies are technical debt. Complexity is justified only when it enables emergent capabilities. Production is the only environment that teaches truth.
