01 What I'm Into
Performant Computing
Low-level optimization, memory management, and making software run as fast as possible. I enjoy profiling, benchmarking, and squeezing every bit of performance out of code.
Reverse Engineering
Decompiling binaries, analyzing assembly, and understanding how software works under the hood. There's something satisfying about turning machine code back into readable form.
Systems & Linux
Deep dive into operating systems, kernel internals, and the Unix philosophy. I use Arch, by the way.
Developer Tools
Building tools that make developers more productive. From CLIs to automation scripts, if it saves time, I'm interested.
02 Featured Projects
Community Decompiling Project
Utilized decompilation tools to help reverse engineer the GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, converting its assembly code to C++98 source.
