I'm a full-stack developer, passionate about science, technology and education. I balance my full-time job as a front-end developer with the creation of educational content on my YouTube channel. Beyond my professional pursuits, I love building all sorts of fun side-projects.
This is my personal website, where I will share my latest work, research and fun side-projects.
About Me
GNOME 50 shipped a meaningful performance fix for Nvidia users through a pull request making Mutter's compositor non-blocking via file descriptors and GLib event sources.

Explores GPU architecture contrasting with CPUs, covering graphics pipelines, shader execution, and general-purpose computing via OpenGL and OpenCL demonstrations.

Comprehensive examination of memory handling across languages: C's malloc/free, C++ RAII, garbage collection, smart pointers, Rust ownership, and arena allocators.

Traces the compilation pipeline from preprocessing through linking, plus interpreted and JIT-compiled execution models with GDB debugging demonstrations.
A study of GNOME/Mutter MR 4725, which fixes a compositor thread stall on Nvidia GPUs by replacing a blocking buffer lock call with an event-driven approach using sync file descriptors and GLib's main loop.
Apple's "The Illusion of Thinking" suggests reasoning models may simulate, not perform, true reasoning—excelling at pattern matching but failing as problem complexity rises.
This paper analyzes REST API design from Fielding's theoretical foundations to modern practice, showing that successful APIs balance architectural principles with pragmatic implementation choices.
