I’m a technology enthusiast, open-source contributor, and lifelong learner with a focus on
spaced repetition tools, system software, and data workflows.
I build things that help me (and others) understand complex systems — whether that’s analyzing learning data, automating tasks, or diving deep into OS tooling.
I’m currently exploring / working with:
- 🧠 Spaced Repetition: R and Rust tooling for advanced algorithms (FSRS)
- 🐧 Systems & OS: Arch Linux, FreeBSD, filesystems (ZFS, Btrfs)
- 🔧 Automation & Infrastructure: Scripts, TrueNAS & server tooling
- 📊 Data Analysis: R, Python for structured data analysis
- 💻 Learning Languages: C, C++, R
Here are a few highlights from my public GitHub repositories:
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| ankiR | R package to read Anki collections and extract FSRS parameters (stability, difficulty, retrievability). |
| anki-snapshot-tool | CLI tool to snapshot and version-control Anki collection files. |
| fsrsr | Rust / R bindings for the FSRS spaced repetition algorithm. |
| ankipandas & related packaging | Contributions to Python tooling and packaging for spaced repetition libraries. |
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| FreeBSD contributions | Experimental changes and documentation work on FreeBSD source trees. |
| TrueNAS Tailscale automation | Scripts for service setup and certificate automation. |
| Various configs | Neovim config, Docker utilities, and custom scripts. |
