UNIX-like OS
Side project: my first and oldest project, written (and

networking stack. It can compile itself!
I've started tiny and XXL side-projects over the years, and I still do. Check them out!
My story
I've been taking technology apart and rebuilding it since I was 9. What really interests me is understanding why things work the way they do, from large-scale distributed systems right down to the NAND gates.
Now, I apply this foundational understanding to engineer more robust, efficient, and innovative solutions.
