Featured Systems & Projects

Project	Description & Architecture	Stack
LibreSwift	Decoupled iOS Swift compilation from macOS. Runs natively on Linux and WSL environments. Direct USB device provisioning, code signing, and interactive LLDB debugging within Linux editors.	Swift TypeScript LLDB Linux
potatoFace	Ultra-lightweight biometric facial authentication engine for Linux and Wayland desktop environments. Zero neural bloat operating at 14MB RAM overhead using Haar+LBPH integer mathematics and native layer-shell UI.	Python QML Wayland Linux
a-Ha	Dopamine-neutral Android launcher designed for high-focus workflows. Text-only interface with executive function scaffolding. Real-time binaural DSP synthesis (40Hz/14Hz), notification containment, and recursive task breakdown. Lightweight (4.3MB) and fully offline.	Kotlin Android NDK DSP Audio Synthesis
circles	DPI-camouflaged, end-to-end encrypted group video and messaging protocol engineered to defeat packet inspection. Zero-leak identity verification designed to maintain stability across hostile networks and aggressive packet drops.	Flutter Dart WebRTC Docker PostgreSQL
aether	Zero-dependency PHP 8.3 persistent micro-framework. Sub-millisecond execution overhead via OPcache preloading and strict POSIX request lifecycles.	PHP 8.3 OPcache POSIX Micro-Framework
Adaptive-Block-Sort	High-performance cache-conscious sorting algorithm combining block partitioning with adaptive in-place merging. Optimized memory locality outperforming conventional QuickSort and TimSort implementations on partially sorted arrays.	Python Cache Optimization Algorithms
Imladris	Offline-first Android spatial knowledge engine. Local SQLite vector graph, neural knowledge indexing, and distraction-free spatial reading interface.	Kotlin Android SQLite Knowledge Graph
intraflow	Unified multi-tenant operations, automation, and security infrastructure platform for MSPs/MSSPs. Automated system orchestration, real-time audit controls, and granular role-based tenant isolation.	PHP Laravel Filament Docker
