About

I like understanding how systems work so I can figure out how they break, and then make them harder to break. Most of my time goes into security, Linux and low-level projects. When I'm away from the keyboard, I'm usually rock climbing, mountaineering or working on cars.

Projects

Lightweight RISC CPU emulator for running and stepping through simple assembly programs while watching registers and memory.

doc-cam

Python

Real-time video pipeline that detects hands and faces, labels fingers and keeps persistent identities across sessions.

kestrel

Python

Stripped-down doc-cam for the Raspberry Pi 4 that boxes people in view and overlays live GY-271 magnetometer data.

fishbot

Python

Bot that watches Binance price feeds over WebSocket and trades Polymarket crypto markets whose outcome is already decided.

Neovim plugin that auto-compiles .tex files on save and previews them in zathura under i3wm.

Script that walks a directory tree and batch-converts .m4a, .wav and .flac files with FFmpeg.
