Moonstone
Personal ATProto PDS implementation optimised for NixOS/Caddy, with no Bluesky infrastructure defaults.
Porting Micrograd to Rust
I have been working on AI projects since 2017 primarily as the token software engineer in a group of AI researchers. My roles have consisted of taking models trained by research teams and integrating them into applications that real people can use. These experiences have given me a degree of exposure to how AI is built, developed, and run that most software engineers haven't had. That said, not having a formal background in AI or working much on the model development side there has been a gap in my understanding about how the tools that we use work. The time has come for me to close that gap.

Including Rust in an Xcode project with Pointer Authentication (arm64e)
eBPF with Rust using Aya (from macOS, Windows, or Linux)
eBPF is one of those technologies that immediately feels powerful but rarely feels friendly at the start. I wanted to experiment with user‑space probes using Rust and Aya, but the setup itself was solid, but the combination of ARM processors, Podman security constraints, and Aya’s toolchain requirements made the early steps unexpectedly tricky: a Mac Studio M3 Ultra as the primary machine and a Linux laptop where container‑based attempts (Podman) were unreliable. Aya itself pulls in a non‑trivial toolchain, and I initially ended up on nightly Rust with a scattered set of workarounds.

Giving up the dylib dream
New Rust, Old Drama
The periodic Rust-induced conflicts happening with the Linux kernel hint at underlying generational problems facing the project. And it’s already led a prominent maintainer to quit.
