I build hard things from scratch.
An x86_64 operating system. A physics engine. A multiplayer FPS with no game engine. Minecraft shaders in raw GLSL. A falling-sand sim with a nuclear-physics layer. A small LLM. I pick the language that fits the problem — C, C++, Rust, Kotlin, GLSL, Python, C# — and I avoid black boxes: if a subsystem is interesting, I'd rather write it myself than import it.
This shows up in my own AuraLite projects and in open source, where I'm just as happy translating docs or chasing a Unicode bug in someone else's repo. Several of these ship versioned releases — 25 on the shader pack, 11 on the FPS, plus the OS.
- AuraLite-OS — a from-scratch x86_64 hobby OS: custom BIOS + UEFI bootloader (NASM & freestanding C), higher-half kernel, preemptive multitasking, Ring 3 ELF userland + small libc, a VFS (tmpfs / FAT32 / ext2), an e1000 TCP/IP stack with DNS, AHCI & USB, and a kernel framebuffer GUI compositor. This is my main focus right now.
