I build things from the bottom up — operating systems, languages, engines — to understand how they actually work.

marc — builds from zero.no forks, no templates — every one of these started as an empty directory.
A 64-bit operating system for x86-64, from the boot sector up: two-stage NASM bootloader, C kernel with preemptive scheduling, demand-paged virtual memory, AHCI storage, ext2 read/write, and ring-3 userspace speaking 29 Linux-style syscalls.
Current front: cross-compiled bash, SDL3, and wlroots — a Wayland desktop, on an OS that started as 512 bytes.
GPU-raymarched voxel engine: hierarchical DDA in a compute shader, Gerstner water, volumetric clouds, lock-free TCP multiplayer.
Compiler for Maka, the outstanding, safe, and revolutionary language. Typechecked with flow narrowing; compiles to C.
The design system drawing the page you're reading. Tokens, components, two themes — one stylesheet, every site.
Seamless two-player co-op mod for Sekiro: function hooking, a validated 60 Hz UDP data plane, injected via me3.
Menu-driven defensive toolkit for CCDC-style exercises: map the host, get a punch list, harden, triage, hunt.
Terminal coding agent for LibreChat-hosted LLMs — streaming, background jobs, input queueing, no API key required.
I'm a cybersecurity student in Switzerland. The fastest way I know to understand a system is to build one: you don't really know what a syscall costs until you've written the interrupt path yourself, and you don't really know what a compiler guarantees until your own typechecker has lied to you once.
So the projects above aren't a portfolio so much as a lab notebook — an OS to understand machines, a language to understand meaning, engines to understand speed, and a blue-team kit because defending a system is the final exam for understanding it.

kernels c, nasm
engines rust, wgsl
# everything else
tooling python, bash, pwsh
defense dfir, hardening
this box debian + caddy, nbg1This site ships no framework and no build step — every pixel is drawn by maka-design, one shared stylesheet for every mstampfli site.
