This is a personal profile README — a running log of things I’ve built, broken, and learned.
Not a professional portfolio. Not here to impress anyone.
Senior BSIT Student at Colegio de Montalban (Year 4) | Systems Tinkerer | Professional Bug Creator
I specialize in the forensic deconstruction of complex systems, frequently rebuilding them from fundamental principles to ascertain their internal mechanics. My repository serves as a curated archive of ambitious explorations and unconventional computational experiments—ranging from high-performance runtimes to cryptographic virtualization.
- 🎓 Current Status: Navigating the final year of my BSIT degree (barely surviving).
- 🦀 Primary Stack: Rust for performance-critical systems; Python and JavaScript for high-level orchestration and velocity.
- 🌐 Web Development: Engineering modern, performant web applications utilizing Next.js and FastAPI.
- 🧪 Focus Areas: System Virtualization, Applied Cryptography, Distributed Architecture, and Esoteric Virtual Machines.
⚠️ Notice: Code is authored for exploratory purposes rather than production environments.- 🫢 Self-Assessment: Admitted novice in programming; merely possesses an unyielding curiosity.
A collection of theoretical and practical explorations into systems-level engineering.
| Repository | Project Specification | Technologies |
|---|---|---|
| Iris | A high-performance hybrid actor runtime in Rust, featuring a Cranelift-backed JIT and BEAM-inspired scheduling for zero-copy distributed messaging and hot-swappable actor state. | |
| Nimue | A selective Rust virtualization framework (co-authored) utilizing a polymorphic Mother/Worker VM architecture and the Prism non-linear string protection system for advanced software obfuscation. | |
| ICTL | A domain-specific language for deterministic, time-aware concurrency, implementing isolated timelines and entropic memory decay with specialized VSCode integration. | |
| Ocular | A zero-allocation instruction tracer for Python (PEP 669), leveraging hardware TSC cycle counting for high-fidelity profiling without disrupting internal fast-paths. | |
| MirageFS | A steganographic virtual block device enabling encrypted storage within multimedia containers, camouflaging data as H.264 NAL-unit filler to defeat forensic analysis. | |
| VortexJS | An experimental virtualization engine for JavaScript, transforming source into custom bytecode executed by a polymorphic stackless VM for software protection research. | |
| Argus | An entropy-based secret scanner utilizing Aho-Corasick pattern matching and Shannon entropy context to distinguish true cryptographic risks from noise in large codebases. | |
| Project Aether | A userspace TCP/IP stack implementation in Rust designed to bypass kernel overhead, prioritizing raw throughput for specialized, high-performance networking research. | |
| Sigilus | A multi-stage WebAssembly-based security framework for web APIs, implementing cryptographic proof-of-execution challenges to neutralize automated threat vectors. |
My developmental methodology adheres to a strict "build to understand" principle: a system is only truly understood once it has been successfully (or unsuccessfully) replicated from fundamental axioms.
- Systems Programming: Rust is my primary instrument for engineering memory-safe, high-performance primitives. I utilize Python and JavaScript for high-level orchestration and rapid prototyping of complex logic.
- Language Design & Compilers: A core pillar of my research involves the creation of custom programming languages and Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs). This includes formal grammar specification, multi-pass semantic analysis, and the implementation of specialized register and stack-based virtual machines.
- Low-Level Explorations: I am deeply invested in custom bytecode architectures, WebAssembly security frameworks, and unconventional system primitives that challenge traditional execution models.
- Web Architectures: For production-grade applications, I employ a robust stack consisting of Next.js and FastAPI, prioritizing type safety and runtime performance.
- Workflow: Operating primarily within a terminal-centric environment. While KDE Kate is my preference for its streamlined interface, VSCode is utilized for intensive development and the engineering of custom language server extensions.
I am consistently open to technical discourse regarding systems architecture, the nuances of performance optimization (like why Python is slow??), or recommendations for manga. If you are developing something unconventional, I would be interested in hearing about it.
