Software Engineer

mastertac

I design and build software across the abstraction stack, from bare-metal systems to web applications. I also write about my projects, thoughts on tech, and what I learn.


About

I'm a self-taught software engineer interested in the entire software stack, from hardware-level systems and operating system internals to AI/ML and application development. I care about usability, maintainability, and the decisions that cascade through a system — from architecture down to what a user feels. Software will communicate something whether you intend it to or not — I'd rather be deliberate about what that is.
