systems-minded dev who basically lives in the terminal. i like low-level work, clean abstractions, and tools that feel good the second you run them. been on linux for years and i'm most at home close to the metal.
if something feels off, i'll probably rewrite it.
this is where i spend most of my time: low-level code, terminal apps, systems work, and the occasional web thing — all in rust.
- audium · tui music app
- swagsh · an amazing shell
- carboxyl · currently maintaining
- webpages · my site, built with leptos
also poked around with ratatui and servo, and landed a few contributions in cloudflare foundations.
this isn't a full list — the rest lives in my pinned repos.
my daily driver for years. comfortable end to end; i know where things live, and usually why they break. these days i run my own fork of niri (niri-takashialpha) as my compositor.
know a lot about it: syscalls, memory management, init, filesystems, context switches.. and more.
network infrastructure across the whole path. from backend services down to the client. routing, dns, and proxying, with containerized workloads on docker.
i care about design at the system level. i like code that stays simple, readable, and modern. structure over cleverness, clarity over magic. clean foundations make everything after them easier.
- building more terminal-first tools
- low-level + performance-focused projects
- making things that actually feel good to use
