About
I am a self-taught software engineer based in Heidelberg, Germany, focused on systems programming, Linux internals, and reverse engineering. I am entirely autodidactic, driven by practical curiosity and a hands-on approach to understanding how complex systems operate under the hood.
Technical Focus
- Systems & Kernel: Low-level development using Rust and C. Experienced with Linux internals, writing kernel modules, and utilizing eBPF for networking and system observability.
- Reverse Engineering: Disassembling and analyzing compiled binaries and software internals using tools like Ghidra.
- Tools & Frameworks: Declarative system configuration with NixOS, data management via PostgreSQL, and regular experimentation with the Bevy engine for hackathons and game jams.
Side Projects & Drone Simulation
Outside of core software development, I follow the engineering and hardware architecture of modern military technology, particularly UAV systems like the Shahed series and missile guidance.
As a hobby project to explore algorithmic logic, I build simulations applying multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to coordinate drone swarms. The current focus is testing how decentralized algorithms can optimize swarm efficiency when navigating simulated radar detection patterns.
Interests & Reading
- Books & Theory: I spend a lot of time reading 20th-century Japanese fiction, speculative sci-fi, and theory-fiction. Frequent authors include Yukio Mishima, Jun’ichirō Tanizaki, Haruki Murakami, Nick Land, and Deleuze & Guattari.
- Favorites: The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (Mishima), Ubik (Philip K. Dick), Anti-Oedipus (Deleuze & Guattari), and Cyclonopedia (Reza Negarestani).
- Gym: Regular weightlifting and strength training.
