About
I'm a software developer with over 20 years of experience in Linux, kernel development, and systems programming. I specialize in low-level programming languages and building robust, efficient software solutions.
With over two decades of hands-on experience working close to the hardware, I've developed a deep understanding of how systems work at their core. From kernel modules to network protocols, I enjoy tackling complex problems that require both technical expertise and creative problem-solving.
My passion lies in creating software that is not only functional but also performant, maintainable, and well-architected. Whether it's optimizing memory usage in a kernel driver or designing efficient network algorithms, I approach every project with attention to detail and a commitment to excellence.

Interests & Focus Areas
Beyond my core work, I'm passionate about exploring new technologies and contributing to open-source projects. I enjoy diving deep into system internals, understanding how things work at the lowest levels, and sharing knowledge with the developer community.
I have a strong interest in network security, exploring the latest techniques in securing network communications, analyzing vulnerabilities, and developing robust security solutions. The intersection of networking and security presents fascinating challenges that I find both intellectually stimulating and practically important.
I'm also deeply engaged with artificial intelligence, particularly AI model training and development. From training neural networks to exploring the latest advances in machine learning, I'm fascinated by how AI can solve complex problems and enhance system capabilities. Whether it's fine-tuning models, working with large language models, or developing custom AI solutions, I enjoy staying at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field.
When I'm not coding, you might find me reading about the latest kernel developments, experimenting with new programming paradigms, exploring AI research papers, or contributing to discussions about systems architecture, network security, and design patterns.
