Building the Backbone of the Open Web

I’m a Systems Engineer focused on high-performance infrastructure for the AT Protocol. My work centers on one goal: Mechanical Sympathy. I believe that for the open web to succeed, our tools need to be as fast as the hardware allows. That’s why I built the Sovereign Truth Engine—a Rust-based firehose indexer that achieves 69ns lookups on 15GB+ datasets using memory-mapping and zero-copy parsing.

What I’m working on:

Performance-First Tooling: Optimizing Rust for specific CPU topologies (like Zen 2/3) to squeeze every microsecond out of the hardware.

Open Infrastructure: Building transparent, "sovereign" tools for the AT Protocol that don't rely on massive, expensive cloud overhead.

Bridging the Gap: Moving to systems engineering, I bring a "build-it-to-last" mindset to every line of code.

Why Sponsor Me?

By sponsoring my work, you’re supporting:

The AT Protocol ecosystem: Helping me keep the Sovereign Truth Engine open-source and high-performance.

First-Principles Engineering: I dive into the assembly, the cache lines, and the syscalls to build software that respects your hardware.

The Pivot: Supporting a self-taught, veteran-owned journey into the deep end of systems programming.

Let’s build a faster, more transparent internet together.
