Hi, Welcome to my personal site. I am a systems/perf engineer and first-year undergraduate based somewhere between a compiler and profiler.

More about my setup & me

What editor do I use?

I alternate between RustRover for heavier Rust projects, Helix for quick edits (coping with VIM), and Zed because of FOMO. I use Gruvbox Dark Medium with Fira Code Retina font.

What languages do I work with?

Mostly Rust, sometimes Python and sometimes Perl. Rust is my default for anything performance-critical or systems-level. Python when I need to glue things together quickly or do some AI & Kernels prototyping and college works. Perl…well, I kinda like it.

What operating system do I use?

Arch Linux with Omarchy by DHH. Its very nice & beautiful.

What are my PC specs?

• Laptop - ASUS TUF Gaming F16 (2026)
• CPU - Intel Core i7-14650HX
• RAM - 16 GB
• GPU - NVIDIA RTX 5060 (8 GB)

What keyboard do I use?

Kreo Swarm 75% — a solid budget full-white mechanical keyboard, been using it for almost over 1 year now.

What games do I play often?

• Battlefield 2042 — when I feel like running around & blowing things up I play casper only
• Genshin Impact — for the story, the waifus and mostly THE HIDDEN LORE I have C1 Hutao
• Beyond All Reason — big brain RTS, factory must grow I believe in Cortex supremacy
• Pokémon Showdown — competitive battling, because I never outgrew it Gen5 OU only

What are my current projects?

• rdrive — distributed zero-trust object storage/streaming node
• hnsw-rs — generic HNSW implementation for nearest neighbor search
• mini-db — async WAL-based key-value store inspired by LevelDB and RockDB
• blas-rs — openBLAS implementation for x86-64 in Rust
• hydra-sync — async SPMC lib for game dev/general utility
• missile-sim — missile guidance simulation/sandbox engine/library

What’s my long-term goal?

Build performance-critical libraries and pieces of software that could be used in scale. Short-term: get blas-rswidely used and build ML libraries around it.
