Projects
Engineering of my own: distributed systems, networks, compression and generative video. Architecture always first; everything tested on my own machines.

Agatha — YouTube as a disk: data encoded into video
Turns any binary file into 4K grayscale video frames (1 bit per pixel), uploads them to YouTube and gets them back with 100% fidelity. The key is BCH(t=16, m=15) error correction, which rebuilds the bits despite the platform’s H.264/VP9 re-encoding. Hexagonal core — no framework dependency, ports as interfaces.
Network engineering · TS + Rust monorepo
PhantomRelay — the TLS handshake that gives you away
A browser relay for legitimate automation (end-to-end QA, monitoring sites I own). A Node HTTP client is distinguishable from real Chrome before the first HTTP byte: OpenSSL and BoringSSL produce a different ClientHello. The fix was not to imitate it but to inherit it, with a Rust addon over BoringSSL — optional, degrading gracefully. Cost-based escalation across 4 modes and nearly 900 tests.
More projects
Studio — agentic director
An autonomous, resumable LangGraph that researches with real data, writes the script, directs, and checks every shot with a multimodal critic (a reshoot loop on a budget). Parameterized by a declarative Profile: the same graph produces different formats by changing only a JSON file.
nexcomp — adaptive compression
Lossless compressor in Rust with per-block codec selection. Beats bzip2 on the Calgary, Canterbury and Silesia corpora.
Vinaria — Wine for Intel Macs
Open-source manager for running Windows apps on Intel Macs: Wine built from CodeWeavers sources, a Rust core and per-game recipes.
Distributed execution engine
A 12-stage pipeline (images, cloned voice, editing, upscaling) orchestrated as flows over a heterogeneous GPU swarm routed by tags, with a human gate and a self-audited audio master.
RetinaNet de-poisoning
Kaggle vision challenge: removing a backdoor from a contrail detector through activation forensics (locating the carrier channels) plus a minimal intervention. 36% better than the poisoned model.
Reasoning fine-tuning
LoRA SFT over chain-of-thought traces for mathematical reasoning; the diagnosis turned into a "data gate" that validates the traces before training.
This site + design system
Static GEO-first Astro, with 45 components, reusable tokens and metadata integrity enforced by schema.
