About

I build secure, high-performance system software with a primary focus on C/C++. My work spans across macOS, Windows, and Linux, where I lead the development of reliable, production-grade products used at scale. I enjoy working close to the OS, optimizing performance, designing cross-platform architectures, and solving complex engineering problems. I also use Go (Golang) for distributed systems and internal tooling. Along the way, I’ve built and maintained robust automation using CMake, GitLab CI/CD, and custom pipelines, and I thrive in collaborative teams that value strong engineering fundamentals and real-world impact.
