I'm passionate about breaking things; and fixing things other people (and myself shamelessly) broke. Technology and prototyping custom electronic devices from the ground up is my focused hobby — and I don't mean just sketching ideas on paper. I'm talking building the sketches, right down to the bare microcontroller, then hand-crafting the firmware and cramming the application code into them that gives them life.
Python and its microcontroller-targeted derivatives (MicroPython, CircuitPython) are my everyday go-to languages, but I've got some love for C/C++ as well. I'm always exploring new technologies and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
When I'm in the zone, a project might take more than a day to finish — a night or two with no sleep becomes mandatory. Several semi-conscious commits later, I come to the realization that I don't remember where the dream started and my code started.
What I Do:
🔬 Electronics Design & Prototyping — Building custom
hardware and designing unique electronic systems.
⚙️ MCU Development — Writing efficient, reliable firmware
for microcontrollers, especially the ESP32-S3.
🐍 Python & More — Skilled in Python (MPy, CPy), and C.
Creator of compyler (Python → executable compiler).
🔐 Security Research — Reverse engineering consumer electronics,
hardware hacking, and developing secure web3 applications.
Custom PCB design, prototyping, and hardware debugging for embedded systems.
ESP32-S3, RP2040, STM32 — writing efficient firmware in C/C++ and MicroPython.
Advanced Python, CPy, MPy. Creator of compyler — Python to executable compiler.
Reverse engineering, hardware hacking, secure bootloaders, and crypto applications.
Building on Polygon, developing secure dApps, blockchain mesh networks.
StageTwo bootloader, CobraLoader — graphical boot menus, OTA, flash recovery.
A new crypto token on Polygon. EVoRA will empower FastLink, a secure web3 messenger platform, eventually becoming a hardware-backed blockchain mesh network with individual nodes and repeaters.
Full-featured device launcher firmware for ESP32-S3 Touch AMOLED 1.8" module. Swipeable app carousel UI, plugin .app system, built-in system apps, comprehensive hardware services.
Advanced Python to executable compiler featuring memory-optimized compilation, multi-threaded support, intelligent caching, security validation, and code signing.
CircuitPython-compatible TOTP/HOTP library for microcontrollers. No stdlib dependencies, custom Base32 & HMAC-SHA1, timing-safe comparison, memory efficient.
Comprehensive TOTP authenticator for ESP32-S3 with display interface and web-based management. Multi-account support with auto page rotation.
Second-stage bootloader for CircuitPython devices with graphical boot menu, advanced recovery system (backup/restore, web recovery, OTA), and file manager.
Custom app launcher designed to work with StageTwo. Centralized settings and configuration system, persistent across apps and plugins. Configs on SD + flash backup.
