I'm a self-taught systems engineer and full-time engineering student, available part-time/contract (~15–20 hrs/week) for $800–1,500/month, flexible based on scope — open to lower for the right learning opportunity or paid trial.

I build software with hardware memory limits in mind instead of assuming abstractions are free:

- UltimateBufferQueue — lock-free MPSC/MPMC/SPSC/SPMC buffer in Rust (nightly), using manual atomic orderings instead of Mutex, plus a heapless zero-allocation variant for fully predictable memory under load.

- S3CacheProxy — local caching proxy that cuts AWS S3 egress costs via memory-mapped storage instead of repeat network hops.

- TelemetryParser — real-time log/metrics parser using raw Linux mmap/mremap for zero-copy ingestion.

No corporate background — but I reason through ownership, thread safety, and memory layout the way this work demands.
