I’m interested in the zig laguage, and nix environments. I also like to learn about privacy tech such as mixnets, cyphers, and HSMs.

Projects

Noodle:

An interactive multiplex graph for associating concepts freely. Core library with a REPL interface implemented in C++ and now built with zig (previously cmake). >>> Project Website

Digital Privacy Solution:

Linux homelab across multiple hosts for privacy-respecting personal compute (nix, debian, wireguard, ssh, NAS, VPS).

  • Software isolation through virtual environments and sandboxing (docker, waydroid, flatpak).
  • Metadata obfuscation for private access (spn, i2p, tor).
  • Self-hosted services for data sovereignty (git, personal website, local LLM).

Mirakey:

A prototype mechanical keyboard with OLED dot displays embedded in the keys. Based on STM32 and designed with KiCAD and Solidworks. >>> Project Website

2-Axis Machine:

Moves an end-effector in a plane with max steady state error of 0.4 mm. Based on an STM32, DC servos in a gantry-style belt configuration.

  • System characterization and discrete digital controller implemented in C.
  • Implemented limit switches using interrupts.
