I am a CS undergrad at JNU (2027) focused on the intersection of Systems Programming and ML Infrastructure. I prefer working at the lower levels of the stack where memory efficiency and reproducibility are the primary constraints.

Recent Work:

    Rust Compiler (rustc) Contributor: Contributed to T-bootstrap regarding thin-rlibs and standalone metadata resolution. Identified and resolved a dependency resolution failure in the run-make test infrastructure, unblocking dogfooding efforts for -Zno-embed-metadata.

    ML Infrastructure: Implemented foundational mathematical operators (GEMM, Softmax) for the Burn deep learning library in pure Rust.

    Kernel Internals: Published technical analysis of xv6-RISCV internals, recent work on synchronization primitives and trap handling. Blog: https://himwant.org/series/xv6/

    Declarative Systems: Use Guix/Nix to maintain hermetic, FHS-emulated build environments for complex toolchain development.

Looking for Summer 2026 internships in Systems Engineering, Compiler Development, or AI/ML Infrastructure. I am comfortable navigating large, high-stakes codebases and operating independently.
