I build kernel modules, reverse-engineer undocumented hardware, and write zero-overhead native tooling—with a graphic design background that makes the interfaces usable. My formal education combines a Bachelor of Computer Applications (Professional) with a Diploma in Advertising & Graphic Design.
- Systems control: Linux platform modules, ACPI/WMI drivers, embedded Qualcomm modem infrastructure, and low-level hardware protocols.
- Anti-bloat architecture: Strictly anti-Electron. Software should launch instantaneously, operate within deterministic memory ceilings, and respect hardware constraints.
- Design-first ergonomics: Applying formal graphic design foundations to build purposeful Material Design 3 interfaces with calibrated motion, spring physics, and deliberate typographic hierarchy.
- Write kernel drivers in C and Rust for hardware that vendor background suites bloat or abandon.
- Reverse-engineer embedded firmware and bootchains to bring mainline Linux userspaces to locked-down hardware.
- Build native utilities with bounded memory in Rust, Kotlin, and Python—engineered spec-first with verified contract tests.
| Project | Summary & Architecture Trade-off | Constraint / Metric | Stack |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP Omen HyperX Subsystem | Custom Linux platform driver with ACPI power hooks, WMI call integration, sysfs controls, and a Rust CLI. Chose a kernel platform driver over a userspace daemon to bind directly into ACPI sleep paths (omen_rgb_resume), restoring hardware lighting states on system wake. |
800 MB suite → < 5 MB resident | Linux Kernel C, DKMS, ACPI/WMI, Rust |
| JioFi 4 (JMR1140) Modem Revival | Reverse-engineered Qualcomm MDM9607 cellular modem platform. Implemented lk2nd as a second-stage bootloader to chainload standard Linux kernels without modifying vendor primary partition tables. |
Boots proprietary hardware into clean Linux userspace | Qualcomm MDM9607, C, ARM, Embedded Linux, lk2nd |
| RAM-TUI | Zero-overhead terminal memory monitor and process inspector built for lightweight Wayland/Hyprland workflows. Direct /proc parser avoiding high-level overhead. |
< 2 MB resident memory, zero external dependencies | Rust, Linux procfs, TUI |
| Layer | Technologies & Tooling | Where it shows up |
|---|---|---|
| Kernel & Low-Level | Linux Kernel Modules (C), DKMS, ACPI, WMI, Embedded Linux (ARM/Qualcomm), Rust | HP Omen platform driver, JioFi 4 modem kernel, RAM-TUI memory monitor |
| Protocols & Hardware | Linux HID, BlueZ / DBus, Wireshark, Serial/UART, Unix Domain Sockets | Peripheral lighting controllers, Qualcomm serial bring-up, IPC subsystems |
| Native UI & Motion | Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material Design 3 Architecture, Micro-interactions | Android native client prototypes, fluid spring-motion interaction layers |
| Environment & Tooling | Arch Linux, CachyOS, Hyprland (Wayland), Neovim, Git, Clang/LLVM | Daily development workstation, bespoke compositor configuration, build systems |
