Demoscene engineer focusing on legacy embedded hardware
[Short welcome / summary — 3-4 sentences. TBD]
Current demoscene specialist, aspiring telecom engineer. I love pretty much all things related to legacy GSM and CDMA networks and have a growing fondness for LTE and 5G infrastructure as well.
Computer/Electrical Engineering student at Georgia Tech, interested in software, systems, and embedded engineering.
My work centers on demoscene-inspired systems — pushing constrained hardware and software runtimes beyond conventional limits.
[Long-term aspirations and the steps to get there, in your own voice. Since you're already working in the field, this is about where you want to go next, not landing a first internship. Revisit your ECE Roadmap. TBD]
An LTE IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) client written in Python. It connects to a carrier's ePDG (Evolved Packet Data Gateway) over SWe-IKEv2, and can place phone calls over the IMS network. It converts IMS-flavored SIP into standard SIP so that a regular SIP client, such as BareSIP with the AMR-NB codec, can understand and carry the call.

Demo project in JavaScript, HTML, Rust, C, and Bash, tied together by service workers. Ran i386 Linux GUI binaries fully in the browser with TCP networking, plus its own native app format. 18.7k users at peak.
A LimeSDR Mini–based GSM base station (OpenBTS, osmo-trx, Ubuntu 16.04) using a satellite uplink to blanket an area with emergency cellular coverage. Featured at the Roanoke Mini Maker Faire.
Designed backend software on AWS ECS, DynamoDB, RDS, and Cloudflare Workers for executing user-provided code safely. Built a sandboxed execution environment — now 3000+ user-deployed applets — on a client application with 1.3M+ registered users.
A group of middle school, high school, and college students building software. Discovered news-breaking ChromeOS bootloader vulnerabilities (sh1mmer); maintains 20+ open-source projects, including a web port of Celeste.
