Projects

What I’ve built

Building Khoomi: an African marketplace for handmade goods. I built the backend from scratch in Go, covering multi-vendor orders, inventory, shipping, seller wallets, payouts, notifications, and moderation. More on the architecture: orders, shops, and listings.
DDW: a magazine platform built with Next.js and TypeScript, with memberships, gated content, and CMS-backed publishing.
awari: a Wayland app launcher built on GPUI, Zed’s UI framework. I profiled its startup and memory use and brought idle memory down from ~141 MiB to ~39 MiB. I wrote about the work here.

packed_bits: a no_std, const-friendly bit-packing library for Rust.
paged-small-vec: an experiment with an inode-style container using inline storage and fixed-size heap chunks. It mostly lost to Vec and SmallVec; I wrote about why.

REVM: improved JumpTable bit lookups by 7.9x (#2618) and improved benchmarks by 8.65% by avoiding unnecessary warm-address cloning (#2634).
Rust Clippy: added the needless_type_cast lint.
Slint: changed WGPU instance creation so unused GL/Mesa backends aren’t loaded at startup (#13261).
WalletConnect Rust: implemented the Core Pairing API and WASM WebSocket support for Komodo’s integration.
librustzcash: made Komodo’s wallet backend async and WASM-compatible (#8), and fixed unconfirmed change-note tracking for shielded balances (#10).

lc3-vm-rust: an LC-3 virtual machine written in Rust.
rv32i-vm-rust: an educational RV32I virtual machine in Rust.
DoomHelix: my Helix fork with a native ACP agent panel for explaining, fixing, and refactoring code inside the editor.
