My vision is to build robust, efficient software.
At SmartX, I work on Raft consensus, metadata, and storage system observability in ZBS. I also maintain a ZooKeeper fork.
Outside of work, I build libraries, self-hosted systems, and tools that make development easier. Most of my code is in C++, Rust, and Zig, with a focus on distributed systems and storage.
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| raftz | My primary focus: an embeddable Raft consensus library for Zig, with durable WAL, snapshots, and gRPC transport. |
| grpc-lite | A lightweight, streaming-first gRPC runtime for Zig, with C and C++ APIs and bounded backpressure. |
| kcp-rs | A pure Rust KCP implementation with a Sans-I/O core and optional runtime-independent async integration. |
| lttng-ctl-go | Go bindings for liblttng-ctl, with a high-level recording API, complete 2.14 API bindings, and multi-version runtime support. |
| libclock | A C++11 timing library with selectable clock backends, typed timestamps, and stopwatches. |
| gwp-asan | Standalone packaging of LLVM's sampled memory-error detector for Linux, with CMake integration. |
Earlier work: raftpp, my C++17 Raft implementation, is planned for archival as development focus shifts to raftz.
