I am a software engineer interested in Systems Programming, Open Source development, and Compiler & Toolchain infrastructure. I enjoy working at the systems level, building performance-critical software, contributing to large open-source codebases, and shipping reliable backend services.

QEMU
Systems / Hypervisor

Built full Rust Tracing Support for QEMU (PATCH 00/16) — 4 backend implementations via C FFI. Also optimized SimpleTrace eliminating ~6 assembly instructions per tracepoint and reducing build size by 23 MB.
