A compact overview of what I'm building and the public work that best represents my current engineering focus.

## Modular Rust game engine

My main project is a **modular, general-purpose game engine built from scratch in Rust**.
My main project is **Kova**, a modular, general-purpose game engine built from scratch in Rust.

It includes custom runtime and ECS architecture, rendering, assets and content, input, scenes, physics, plugins, task systems, voxel capabilities, tooling, testing, and backend-neutral public APIs.

The architecture is deliberately layered: high-level engine and gameplay code should not depend directly on backend-specific graphics or windowing handles, and extension points are designed to work for first-party and third-party plugins through the same public interfaces.

The repository is currently private while the engine is being prepared for public release.
The repository is currently private while the engine is being prepared for a public-source pre-alpha release. The current technical preview documents the implemented public application, scene, 2D, 3D, input, camera, transform, and validation paths without presenting the engine as production-ready.

## Freven

**Freven** is a voxel game built on top of my engine and used as a real downstream validation project.
**Freven** is a voxel game built on top of Kova and used as a real downstream validation project.

Current work exercises voxel world and chunk management, rendering and collision updates, interaction, world streaming, diagnostics, frame-time performance, and the boundary between reusable engine capabilities and game-specific behavior.
