💫 Hi there, I'm Ian

I’m a systems-focused developer who enjoys building fast, reliable, and low-level software.

My work spans across C++, Go, and x86-64 assembly, with a growing interest in cryptography, file-encryption pipelines, and kernel-level development.

For any inquiries, feel free to reach out via email.

🛠️ What I Work On

• 🧩 Systems & low-level engineering (C, C++, x86-64 assembly)

• 🔐 Security & cryptography tooling

  • PQC integration
  • Secure keypair handling
  • AEAD modes, KDFs, and file/folder encryption designs

• 🧪 Developer tooling

  • CLI tooling for Unix systems (Linux/macOS)

• ⚡ High-performance code

  • Profiling, benchmarking, and optimization

🚀 Current Focus

• Building a secure file encryption tool with modern cryptographic algorithms and strong security guarantees.
• Exploring kernel development, x86-64 assembly, and OS internals.
• Enhancing my knowledge of post-quantum cryptography and its practical applications.
• Learning Rust more deeply for systems and tooling.
• Continuing to explore SIMD and low-level CPU behavior.

💻 Tech I Enjoy

Languages: C, C++, Rust, x86-64 asm, Go, Python, JavaScript

Tools: Git, Clang, GCC, GDB, LLDB, Valgrind, perf, CMake

Cloud & Infra: AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Vagrant, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, CircleCI

Platforms: Linux, macOS, Unix internals

🧠 What Drives Me

I like understanding how things work under the hood, from CPU instructions to OS subsystems to cryptographic primitives.

I build tools that are predictable, transparent, and high-performance, and I value clean API design backed by strong engineering principles.

📈 Always Learning

Whether it's kernel development, advanced cryptographic constructions, or squeezing nanoseconds out of code paths, I'm always digging deeper.
