Loading stats...

Problem:

Complex systems simulation often lacks proper architecture and real-time visualization capabilities.

Solution:

Built an artificial life engine with clean package structure, dual UI interfaces (CLI + Web), and extensible behavior system.

Impact:

Created a production-ready simulation framework showcasing systems design, clean architecture, and data visualization.

Password Manager

Secure CLI Tool

Modern cryptographyRust security featuresCLI interfaceZero-knowledge architecture

Loading stats...

Problem:

Many password managers are GUI-only, lack modern crypto standards, or store master passwords insecurely.

Solution:

Built a CLI password manager in Rust using Argon2 key derivation and AES-256-GCM encryption with zero-knowledge architecture.

Impact:

Created a secure, memory-safe password manager that never stores the master password and leverages Rust's safety guarantees.

Philosophy and approach to software development

$ cat philosophy.txt

▹Ship one high-quality public repo (backend first, frontend minimal)

▹Prioritize correctness, observability, docs over flash

▹Keep configs reproducible (Docker) and predictable (scripts)

> Tools minimal. Docs automated. Code speaks.

Focus Areas

clean architecture, auth & security, PostgreSQL/Prisma, performance

Approach

Building production-ready backends with emphasis on correctness, security, and comprehensive documentation. Every project is an opportunity to demonstrate clean architecture and engineering excellence.
