I build native software for security- and reliability-critical systems: cryptographic protocols, network services, parsers, and command-line tooling. I prefer explicit ownership, deterministic failure modes, portable implementations, and security boundaries that can be inspected.

Correctness before speed. Measure before optimizing. Make ownership and failure modes explicit.
Keep interfaces small, validate under hostile conditions, and document what the system does not guarantee.
Open to technical collaboration, security-sensitive discussion, and open-source work.
