Selected Builds

Production-ready systems

Case Study 01

Distributed Key-Value Store

A highly available database built to handle network partitions, utilizing Raft consensus to guarantee strict consistency across distributed nodes.

Case Study 02

Compiler Pipeline

A multi-pass compiler translating a custom functional language into optimized LLVM intermediate representation, featuring rigorous type inference.

Engineering Philosophy

Complexity is easy; simplicity and systematic verification are hard. I build systems that are provably correct, heavily documented, and easily maintained.
