- Design preference: minimalism
- Personality: maximalism
Fourteen years in, I've shipped unshakeable codebases across an absurdly high volume of engagements. My background spans from co-founding companies to scaling engineering orgs as a CTO and technical lead, working remotely with clients globally.
The most potent debugging tool is 'systemic intuition'; if there's a latent flaw in the architecture, I usually find it before the tests even finish running. I operate at high speed, and I'm ruthless about maintaining clean, secure, and optimized architectures.
If I’m not at my desk obsessing over software optimization, I’m usually publishing books, recording music, or spiraling down obscure philosophical rabbit holes.
I type like I have four hands.
Obligatory "I use arch, btw".
https://github.com/lirios/music
Tech stack: C++, Qt5, QML, Taglib
Liri Music (a material design inspired music player) was started on Dec 9, 2015, named Vinyl Music; because Vinyl is a type of material, and it's also related to music. The original Liri Project devs invited me into the Liri Project, and the rest, as they say, is history. Kind of literally, here, because it's been 7 years and Liri Music is probably only about 50% complete.
I've had an on and off relationship with the app, but I'm pushing forward to see it to it's first official release in the near future. The app will include albums, songs, playlists, and the ability to modify the meta tags of all of those object types.

Tech stack: C++, Qt5
Eden browser was a project I started on Jan 20, 2017. It, too, has suffered the same fate as Liri Music. The dark fate of an incomplete app, in an on and off relationship with it's developer. The app is build entirely inside C++, using C++ representations of QT objects. It features a custom window frame, normal and private windows, and a fully functional devtools component.
I had also planned to add support for chrome extensions, and, you know, to eventually release it. Maybe a release is in Edens future.
Including Tabnex, USPORT, MdNetX, Retruster, among many others.
