Ayo, KAI here!

I write code, build systems from the ground up, and create tools that solve real (cough) problems. I spend my days mastering Unix (ricing my distro) because I’d rather type than click.

  • Working through 42's Curriculum, focusing on C.
  • Pronouns: he/him (hardcore)
  • Splitting my brain between Newcastle's IT program and 42SUTD's Computer Science - because one degree isn't enough punishment and sleep is overrated anyway.
  • Full-time daydreamer, part-time "DJ", and occasional blogger when I need a break from memory management.
  • Fan of dystopian sci-fi films, perfect for when reality feels too tame.

Projects I've Built

  • Catalyst: A to-do app for lazy people. You type, AI figures it out. Built in Flutter, local-first, no forms, no friction.
  • NLEX: A shell that lets you talk to your terminal. Written in Go, it turns plain English into shell commands so you stop Googling sed syntax.
  • Where's my Classroom?: Fixed my university's broken timetable because scattered PDFs are a crime. A Flutter app that sorts out the mess and works offline.
  • bjsh: A Unix shell built from scratch in C that doesn't just echo commands—it handles processes like a boss and doesn't crash (usually).
  • BYAMC: My own C standard library because why use something that works when you can build it yourself? Memory management is my therapy.
  • Byte's Escape: 2D game built from scratch in C, no fancy engines, just raw C code and pain because I hate myself apparently.

Infrastructure

  • BitTorrent Tracker: My public BitTorrent tracker and Monitoring tool because why not? go get it on the website and put it in your torrent client's tracker list. And don't forget to seed!

Tech I Use Because It Gets The Job Done

  • Languages: C and Go for systems & backend. Dart/Flutter for making apps. Python and TypeScript when I have to. The right tool for the job.
  • Operating Systems: Linux when I want things to work, Windows when I need to suffer.
  • Tools: Git, Makefiles, and sometimes Vim - because IDEs are for the weak (kidding, I use JetBrains stuff too because I'm not insane).

The hardware I torture daily
  • CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-13900H (14 cores, 20 threads - overkill for most days, but compiling C without waiting is nice)
  • GPU: NVIDIA® Geforce RTX™ 3050 4GB (handles visualization just fine, occasional gaming when I need a break from segfaults)
  • RAM: 16GB LPDDR5 (wish it was 32GB but we can't have everything)
  • SSD: 1TB NVMe (fast enough that waiting for compiles is almost bearable)
  • OS: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Dualboot with Windows 11.
