Systems-level thinker. I build tools that sit between C++ and Python β fast engines, search systems, and things that shouldn't exist but do.
I write performance-critical software and ship it to PyPI. My work spans native C++ acceleration layers, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, and the occasional programming language built for fun. Currently contributing to open source through GSSoC '26 and maintaining projects used by developers across the ecosystem.
