i enjoy writing c.
keep it simple. keep it fast. understand what it does.
(Also yes, I use Arch, Neovim, and i3 btw.)
Experience
- Evaluate and compare code outputs from multiple AI models across C, C++, Rust, and Python tasks, ranking responses based on code correctness, efficiency, and response quality.
- Conduct structured code reviews to assess model performance on systems programming tasks, identifying edge cases, bugs, and stylistic issues in generated code.
- Provide detailed, criteria-based rankings and feedback to inform model training and improvement at xAI.
- Building software solutions that help local businesses digitize and streamline their day-to-day operations.
- Work directly with businesses to understand their workflows and requirements, then design and develop software tailored to their needs.
Linux Kernel
- Worked on an Input synaptics driver patch enabling InterTouch support on the Dell Inspiron 3521 touchpad. [LKML]
- Patched the comedi ni pcimio driver to correctly set PCI-6220 dio speed and ai fifo depth values per National
Instruments hardware specs. [LKML]
- Fixed a PCI resource cleanup bug on the init error path in the NTB EPF driver (drivers/pci), preventing leaked resources on failure. [LKML]
Pandas
- Refactored
format_is_iso by replacing an explicit loop-based ISO datetime check with a compiled regex, reducing Python iteration overhead and improving performance. [PR]
- Fixed incorrect ISO week 53 handling in
to_datetime, preventing silent rollover for non-existent ISO weeks, ensuring standards-compliant behavior for ISO calendar years with only 52 weeks, and adding regression tests. [PR]
- Aligned datetime parsing documentation with the PDEP-4 deprecation of
infer_datetime_format, reflecting updated behavior and preventing user reliance on deprecated APIs. [PR]
What I've Built
- Low‑level runtimes & tooling:
- Infrastructure & toolkits:
- OSS Contributor @ Linux Kernel, Pandas
Interests
- Systems programming, runtimes, and compilers
- Concurrency, I/O, and performance tuning
- Clean, minimal abstractions over raw power
