Software engineer interested in simulation, distributed systems, and emergent behavior.
Featured Work
Side projects and infrastructure work spanning simulation, distributed systems, and full-stack platforms.
100,000-agent city simulation in Rust with emergent economy, social dynamics, political systems, and multi-resolution level-of-detail. Agents work, trade, form relationships, spread gossip, and banish each other, all running in parallel.
Engineering intelligence platform that cross-references GitHub, Jira, Slack, and mailing lists to surface contributor patterns invisible to dashboards. Organically adopted by an Apache Kafka PMC member.
A 20-node Raspberry Pi cluster for learning distributed systems that cloud abstracts away. Complete rack setup in 4.33U with custom Rust-based thermal management and GitOps via ArgoCD.
Full-stack Spanish tutoring platform with real-time messaging, Stripe payments, video lessons, and scheduling. Go backend deployed on Fly.io with Next.js frontend.
Writing
Essays on infrastructure, simulation, economics, and why things work the way they do.
Every RPG promises a living world full of people with their own lives. Every RPG breaks that promise the moment you look closely. The problem isn't engineering. Real economies don't work without political resistance.
A critical look at the current state of AI scaling laws, and why biological intelligence suggests we might be solving the wrong problem. We must simulate the Umwelt, not the universe.
A technical deep dive into migrating from traditional Edge Ingress to a Zero Trust model using Cloudflare Tunnels, Traefik, and GitOps. Learn how to invert the connection model for enhanced security.
