Systems & Security Engineering · Reverse Engineering & Media Preservation
CompEng BSc Student · Building and securing software across the abstraction stack, from low-level firmware and binary reverse-engineering all the way up to scalable cloud systems. Sometimes I revive dead things: games, apps, hardware.

| Project | Domain | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Destination Home | Media Preservation | Open-source preservation project (16,000+ members) for Sony's defunct PlayStation Home on PS3. Reverse-engineered game binaries, built custom API servers, and managed infrastructure. |
| rust-ps3 | Hardware SDK | Rust toolchain to run modern Rust & LLVM on the Sony PS3 Cell CPU's PPU processors. Runs fully under GameOS and LV2, without any OtherOS or Linux hypervisors needed. |
| rf64 | Bare-Metal Firmware | Hyper-optimized bare-metal firmware for the MIDI Fighter 64 music controller. Runs on an ATmega32U4 chip with 28 KB flash and 2.5 KB SRAM. |
| Halo / rtaudio | macOS / DSP | Real-time audio waveform app for macOS using <1% CPU for 120 FPS rendering via custom DSP chain and a Metal renderer (source). |
| RPCS3 Sony Clans | Emulation / PSN | Full reverse-engineering and client + server reimplementation of the defunct Sony Clans PSN subsystem for PS3 and RPCS3. |
| hdk-rs | Rust / High-Perf | High-performance toolchain for PS3 archive formats (SHARC, segmented zlib) accelerated with Intel ISA-L SIMD — ~300x faster than legacy tools (CLI). |
Complete list of every repository that I've created and maintained for my PlayStation Home revival, "Destination Home".
Note
Many of these are closed source because either (or both):
- They might have major contributions from other people (thus I cannot open them without their permission)
- There are security concerns with opening them (reducing the attack surface may be difficult or impossible)
Everything that is open is licensed AGPLv3.
