Systems Programmer | Suckless Philosophy

Pragmatic Engineering

Note: GitHub is a push mirror. The source of truth is Codeberg.

What I Believe

An ideal program is not the one that is perfect on paper. It is the one that is modular, maintainable, functional, and works.

Pragmatic Engineering — the wisdom to know the right tool for the right job, free from language bias. You may write a Rust todo app as a learning exercise, but for industry use, it might be overkill. As engineers, we must think about the problem first, not the language. Complexity accepted in development should justify the lack of complexity in future maintenance time.

Temporary bad engineering choices equal long-term bad products.

Featured Repositories

  • miniGontainer — Gopher-sized container runtime. So small it fits in a gopher's cheek pouch.
  • gopherql — A gopher-sized SQLite IDE for your small databases and learning, in a single binary.
  • there — cd there simply and deterministically written in lua in unix-y using fzf and jq, db is just a json on file system.

What I Do

Systems Programming

  • High-performance implementations in C, Rust, and Go.
  • Knowledgeable in Linux internals, syscalls, filesystem, and memory management.
  • Lightweight, robust system utilities built to last.

Scripting

  • Linux administration and performance tuning.
  • Lua for automation and configuration.
  • CLI/TUI applications and tooling.

What I'm Avoiding

  • Bad engineering choices that decay into bad products.
  • Over-engineering where simplicity wins.
  • Frameworks that solve problems you don't have.

Current Focus

  • Linux Internals — kernel-space development and subsystem optimization.
  • Cloud Infrastructure — investing in Go and Rust for scalable, reliable systems.
