I'm primarily a Rust engineer. I live to collapse fragmented stacks into more efficient systems. My current work is centered around storage engines, query engines, distributed systems, embedded targets, and cryptography.

I use JS/TS for my frontends - at least until GPUI can replace them. I am learning OCaml. My current side quest is research based; I am searching for the ideal resolver shape/equation using machine learning models and good ole' fashion reading.

cargo-rail — A Rust workspace engine.

A Cargo-native engine for dep/graph coherence, affected CI, source visibility, verified compiler reuse, exact-SHA releases, and canonical dev monorepos via split/sync. cargo-rail-action carries its typed plans into GHA.

rscrypto — Pure Rust cryptography.

One no_std/WASM-native feature model for cryptographic primitives, fast hashes, password hashing, and checksums. Zero default deps; no production C/FFI, OpenSSL, or system libs. Portable Rust defines behavior; SIMD and ASM accelerate it. A custom 'constant-time' harness includes manual unroll, inspect, and heuristics + dudeCT + BINSEC.

Both projects exist because my startup needed them. I use and maintain them as infrastructure, not portfolio pieces. They will be maintained until my ticket gets punched.

Founder and lead engineer at @alias-research, building privately toward its first public release.
