I work across software, electronics, and data, with a focus on systems programming, game development, automation, and infrastructure-oriented tooling. My projects often combine implementation with measurement, using benchmarks, visualizations, and prototypes to make trade-offs explicit.

I approach projects iteratively: build, measure, refine, and document. Some repositories are production-ready tools, while others are focused experiments used to validate a design or technical approach.

I value efficiency and leverage: automation scripts, clear formats, and practical tooling that reduce friction between an idea and a working system.

In practice, that means building systems, inspecting how they behave, and improving them until they are reliable, understandable, and useful.

A selection of repositories that showcase what I like to build.

Language: Go | Complexity: High

Modern open-source client for the classic Clan Lord MMORPG. Cross-platform binary using the Ebiten game engine with OpenGL, DirectX, or Metal rendering and plugin support.

Lines of Code: ~55k

Highlights:

• Cross-platform desktop client built on Ebiten with OpenGL, DirectX, and Metal backends
• Plugin system powered by Yaegi for runtime extensibility and experimentation
• Quality-of-life upgrades including text-to-speech and automatic asset fetching
• Performance-focused rendering improvements, including de-dithering for legacy graphics

Language: Go | Complexity: High

Standalone Bitcoin mining pool that pairs with Bitcoin Core (JSON-RPC + ZMQ) to serve Stratum v1 miners (plain or TLS), exposes an HTTPS-first status UI/JSON API, auto-manages TLS certs, and packages rich config, operations, and testing docs.

Lines of Code: ~50k (including tests)

Highlights:

• Deep Bitcoin Core integration via JSON-RPC longpoll + ZMQ block feed for Stratum v1 mining
• Production-minded pool controls: rate limiting, invalid-share bans, reconnect churn mitigation, and TLS support
• Configurable coinbase split handling for fees, donations, and miner payouts
• Strong ops/testing ergonomics with install scripts, profiling helpers, and detailed operations.md, performance.md, and TESTING.md

Language: Go | Complexity: High

A robust bridge between Discord and Factorio servers that manages game servers and empowers moderators. Part of the M45-Science GitHub organization (website). Active since 2017.

Lines of Code: ~16.1k

Highlights:
