Things I've Built

A high-throughput WebSocket relay implementing non-blocking I/O and zero-allocation routing. Decouples connection management from application logic, preventing Head-of-Line blocking in high-concurrency environments.

A low-level video streaming server built on raw TCP. Implements custom flow control and adaptive buffering to handle variable-bitrate streams more efficiently than standard HTTP wrappers.

Lightweight scheduling application. Built with tanstack router, zod, and shadcn ui, actix rust, and aurora.

A high-performance embedded DBMS architected for real-time edge workloads. Implements a hybrid tiered storage engine achieving 1.5M+ read ops/sec via lock-free in-memory indexing, eliminating the need for external caching layers like Redis.

A template engine implementing Islands Architecture with native View Transitions. Delivers SPA-like interactivity on multi-page apps by selectively hydrating persistent components, eliminating full-page JavaScript bundles.

A hybrid recommendation engine optimized for the edge. Combines vector similarity search (HNSW) with traditional collaborative filtering to solve the 'Cold Start' problem while maintaining low-latency inference.

A collaborative text editor engine powered by Operational Transformation (OT). Prioritizes low-bandwidth synchronization over CRDTs to minimize memory footprint and payload size for constrained clients.

Software RAID implementation from first principles. Read the paper after.

A distributed peer-to-peer network implementing self-healing topology. Uses custom gossip protocols and distance-vector routing to maintain partition tolerance without central coordination.

SMTP server implementation from scratch. Handles mail routing, authentication, and delivery protocols.
