I am ~K’, a systems-oriented developer with a strong interest in language engineering, tooling, and low-level software design.

My work focuses on making complex systems understandable — through clear semantics, intentional abstractions, and predictable behavior. I’m especially interested in problems where correctness, structure, and long-term maintainability matter more than speed of delivery.

I tend to work close to the foundations: parsing, program structure, build systems, runtimes, and developer-facing tooling.

I’m most engaged when the problem requires deep reasoning and trade-off analysis rather than surface-level solutions.

I actively work on experimental and production-grade tools related to:

• Language infrastructure
• Compilers and interpreters
• Command-line tooling
• Build and release systems
• Backend-oriented system components

One of my ongoing projects explores polyglot language interoperability, aiming to bridge ecosystems rather than replace them. Other projects focus on tooling reliability, automation, and developer ergonomics.

Projects evolve; principles stay.

• Language design and semantics
• Lexical and syntactic analysis
• AST modeling and program representation
• Multi-stage and multipass compilation
• Interoperability between ecosystems
• CLI tools and backend systems
• Low-level abstractions with high-level intent

• Languages: Java, Zig, Python, Rust, Bash
• Data & Frameworks: Spring, PostgreSQL, MySQL
• Env: Git, GitHub / Codeberg, Unix-like systems

(Technology is a tool, not an identity.)

Most of my repositories are experiments, tools, or long-term explorations. I value clarity, intent, and correctness over trend-following.
