I am a software engineer with 4.5 years of experience building high-performance AI systems, local-first desktop applications, and intuitive front-end architectures. My work bridges the gap between complex backend logic (Semantic Search, Compressed-Storage) and seamless user experiences.
I specialize in building efficient systems that run everywhere—from localized offline desktop environments to specialized hardware nodes.
- 4bits.co: Architecting high-performance applications with a focus on seamless UI/UX and robust backend processing.
- 0str1ch.com: An AI-powered spreadsheet solution engineered to run entirely locally, ensuring absolute data privacy while maintaining advanced computational capabilities.
- Pengu1n (https://t.me/Penguin0Bot): An AI-driven Telegram matchmaking bot generating highly qualified leads for recruiters and job seekers. Currently serving 35 users (with ~20% Daily Active Users) and facilitating real-world hiring matches.
My open-source work currently focuses on building a unified, local-first file search and synchronization engine, bridging desktop clients with dedicated hardware storage arrays.
A local-first system designed to index, semantically search, and sync files to a dedicated Radxa storage node.
- Tauri Desktop Client: The frontend interface providing high-speed, local search functionalities without relying on cloud indexing.
searchembedsdk: The core Python dependency powering the semantic parsing and text-native search capabilities.contextcore: The proprietary base engine I developed to handle the embedding and context-retrieval pipeline for the search SDK.
hardwarecode: The firmware and system code running on the Radxa 4D board, turning it into a dedicated, high-speed storage and processing node that interfaces directly with the Tauri desktop client.
- Systems & Backend: Rust, Go, C++, Python
- Frontend & Desktop: JavaScript, Tauri, React, UI/UX Design
- AI & Search: Semantic Search architectures, Local LLM deployment, FT/FFT for compressed-storage systems
- Hardware: Radxa 4D board integration, low-level system communication
