About

I'm a developer passionate about data sovereignty, high-performance system architecture, and local-first AI. While the world rushes to upload everything to the cloud, I build software that respects user privacy and runs blazingly fast on local silicon. My core stack is Rust for memory-safe, concurrent runtimes, with lean Python for local AI backends. I care about: - Privacy-first engineering — your data stays on your machine - System-level performance — Rust, SIMD, zero-copy, memory safety - Local AI inference — CLIP, OCR, vector search, all running offline - Sustainable open source — transparent, auditable, community-driven Always excited to connect with fellow builders, roast architectures, or dive into deep technical optimizations.
