Systems software developer based in Melbourne with a Master of IT from Deakin University. I work close to the metal — Rust, C, embedded systems, and distributed protocols.
I am building LUX — an open document format with a peer-to-peer sync protocol I designed and implemented from scratch in Rust using WebRTC DataChannels. The sync system uses BitTorrent-style piece exchange with SHA-256 verification and runs as a background daemon that watches your folders. No central server. Documents sync directly between devices.
I also work on embedded systems — currently implementing the C. elegans connectome (302 neurons, ~7000 synaptic connections) on an ESP32 S3. Full working rights in Australia. Looking for systems software roles in Melbourne.
Download CVDesigned an open document format spec and built the full ecosystem solo. Lumen Viewer is a Rust desktop app with a background daemon using inotify for folder watching. LuXync is a peer-to-peer sync protocol using WebRTC DataChannels — documents sync directly between devices with no central server, using BitTorrent-style piece exchange and SHA-256 verification. Signalling via Cloudflare Workers with Durable Objects.
Implementing the neural network of C. elegans (302 neurons, ~7000 synaptic connections) on an ESP32 S3 microcontroller (512KB SRAM, 240MHz). Requires sparse matrix representation and fixed-point arithmetic to fit the connectome in constrained memory. Exploring how biological computation maps to embedded hardware.

Open to systems software roles in Melbourne. Also happy to talk about LUX, embedded systems, or anything technical. My inbox is always open.
