I have strong expertise in Data Structures & Algorithms, System Design, Web Development, Machine Learning, and AI.
SELECTED WORK
Ephemeral Sandbox Pod Scheduler
A browser IDE that provisions a real, isolated Kubernetes pod per project on demand — an init container seeds files from S3/R2, a live terminal and editor stream over Socket.IO, and nginx-ingress routes each project to its own subdomain.
Vercel, From Scratch
A from-scratch clone of Vercel's deploy pipeline — paste a GitHub repo and it's cloned, queued, built, and served live, backed by a Redis job queue, S3 storage, and a multi-service Node.js backend.
ChainForge
A from-scratch Bitcoin-protocol blockchain in Go, with real PoW, UTXO, ECDSA wallets, P2P networking, and a full React dashboard to explore it all.
Nexus - Realtime Chat
A real-time multi-user chat app in Go, with WebSocket-based messaging, a single custom connection pool for broadcasting
Custom Malloc Memory Manager
A memory manager from the ground up. From-scratch implementation of malloc and free in C, managing real heap memory with sbrk/brk, splitting and merging blocks, and growing or shrinking the heap dynamically.
NanoGit — Git Internals in Python
A minimal Git client built from scratch in pure Python — object hashing, binary index parsing, tree and commit writing, and pack file pushing over the HTTP Smart Protocol. Supports init, add, commit, diff, status, and push to GitHub.
OPEN SOURCE
fix(client): infer moduleFormat correctly for nodenext/node16 in CJS projects
The prisma-client generator inferred moduleFormat by checking only whether tsconfig's module was literally "commonjs", treating node16/nodenext as ESM — but under nodenext, tsc actually decides CJS vs ESM per file from the nearest package.json's type field. CJS projects on nodenext (common for NestJS backends) got an ESM-only client with import.meta.url that crashed at runtime once required(). Fixed inferModuleFormat to look up the nearest package.json and default to cjs unless type is explicitly "module".
fix(ts-sdk): re-raise LLM extraction transport failures instead of returning []
Memory.add()'s LLM extraction step caught all errors from generateResponse — rate limits, timeouts, connection failures — and swallowed them by returning [], making an unreachable LLM indistinguishable from an empty extraction. Added a typed LLMError re-raised with the original error as .cause, plus regression tests mirroring the Python-side fix.
fix(windows): use _wfopen for non-ASCII project paths
On Windows, fopen uses the ANSI codepage and silently returns NULL for accented/CJK paths, so tree-sitter never received the source and no Function/Class nodes were extracted. Added cbm_fopen — UTF-8 → UTF-16LE via _wfopen — replacing 18 call sites across 17 files.
fix(discover): honor .git/info/exclude during file discovery
The indexer honored .gitignore but ignored .git/info/exclude, so sandbox/agent worktrees got walked in full (661k files / 170 GB → OOM). Added cbm_gitignore_merge() so cbm_discover_ex loads and merges the exclude patterns, with unit + integration tests.
fix(windows): quote CreateProcessW args, unswallow installer failures, document MotW
Fixed three Windows installer failures: Mark-of-the-Web blocking install.ps1, swallowed config errors (now a $LASTEXITCODE check), and malformed taskkill /FI quoting. Replaced _spawnvp with CreateProcessW plus a UTF-8-correct MSVC-convention quoting helper.
