I'm a software engineer focused on low-level programming, x86 Assembly, operating systems, C/C++, C#/.NET Framework and Python. I enjoy building firmware and software that interfaces with hardware, including kernel drivers, embedded firmware, and AI accelerators, and I have experience across multi-processor and multi-threaded systems with architectures such as x86, RISCV, LEON, VLIW, and DSP. I also bring a cybersecurity background and a passion for games and art, with experience evaluating malware and blocking attack vectors, while continuing to develop robust software solutions.
