Projects

Nuru wasm

A WebAssembly powered interpreter for Nuru, a swahili programming language. It runs entirely client-side allowing for fast, serverless execution. The port required me to re-engineer it's core I/O architecture to map system calls to browser APIs.

Supabase-lite

A leaner OSS supabase. Resource optimized to reduce about 1GB in memory and 13% in vCPU when idle. Defaults to OIDC over basic auth and pre-configures Supavisor for connection pooling. The savings come from replacing kong with traefik and slashing bloating services.

Sanity Client

A query client for running GROQ queries. Handy for quickly running queries against different Sanity datasets/projects. Developed as an auditing client for a Broken Access Control vulnerability (CWE-922) in a major tech firm.

Blacksnow

An engine for creating interactive 3D micro worlds. Rather than creating static outputs, the engine generates, from natural language, programmable assets for use in education, research and training.
