I build things from the bootloader up - JIT compilers, custom Linux daemons, and boards I probably shouldn't have opened.
- Optimizing RandomX's AArch64 JIT compiler (
armrx) - chasing down branch mispredictions and closing an instruction-count gap against XMRig - Building Salca, a from-scratch C++/OpenGL isometric action slasher roguelike
- Studying Management Information Systems @ Erciyes University, with coursework spanning strategic management, data analysis, and ML
- Hardware & Firmware: Board-level electronics repair, firmware reverse engineering, and giving dead hardware a second life - BIOS chip-level fixes, NAND recovery, embedded IR/RF protocol implementations, and a homebrew 8088 retrocomputer built from salvaged ICs.
- Embedded Linux & Drivers: Bringing up custom operating systems (postmarketOS, antiX) on non-standard/legacy mobile and tablet platforms, and writing custom Linux kernel drivers/systemd daemons to remap and control proprietary hardware.
- Automotive Hacking: Designing and building custom transistor-based level-shifter circuits to interface with and read K-Line diagnostic data directly from vehicle ECUs.
- Self-hosted services behind Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels
- Multi-node Ubuntu setup with failover experiments
- Local AI inference (llama.cpp, Vulkan / ROCm benchmarking)
- DIY monitoring, automation, and service orchestration
- Feature engineering + model stacking (XGBoost, CatBoost, RF)
- AutoML experimentation (TPOT) and optimization pipelines
- Kaggle-style datasets and prediction systems
- Local LLM experimentation (quantization, GPU backends, performance tuning)
Always down to talk JIT compilers, board-level repair, or roguelike architecture - open an issue or PR anytime.
