Open to work
I’m vx, a software engineer based in Uruguay. I write C for Linux, down to PID 1, and TypeScript for the web. I’m interested in how things work underneath, from network layers to language models.
The numogram The CCRU’s numogram: ten zones, 0 to 9, paired into five syzygies that each sum to nine. Each pair’s current flows to the zone numbered by its difference. In the Time-Circuit, 2::7 flows to 5, 5::4 to 1 and 1::8 to 7. The Warp, 6::3, and the Plex, 9::0, flow back into themselves. Gates numbered 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36 and 45 link each zone to another. Warp Time-Circuit Plex 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45 Work 01
poopterm A fast, software-rendered terminal emulator in Rust for Linux, macOS and FreeBSD, with its own escape-sequence parser, font engine and image decoders.
Handles real-world output at 63 to 248 MB/s end to end on a low-power laptop CPU, with a SIMD tokenizer and redraws paced to the display. Shows images over Sixel and the kitty graphics protocol, and speaks the kitty keyboard protocol and shell integration for zsh, fish and bash. On Linux, each tab’s shell runs in its own cgroup with a memory cap, so a runaway program can’t starve the other tabs. Made at Poopware Laboratories ↗ , main contributorBuilt with Rust, winit, softbuffer, mimalloc Status Released, with packages for Homebrew, Debian, Fedora and Arch; not yet a complete xterm implementation License AGPL-3.0-or-later Every block needs a load path to the ground: knock out a support and what it held falls as rigid bodies. Every texture and sound is generated at start-up. The renderer needs only Vulkan 1.0 with no optional features, so it runs down to a Raspberry Pi 4. Built with C11, Vulkan, GLFW, mimalloc, miniaudio, SQLite, CMake Status Builds on Linux and Raspberry Pi OS; macOS is experimental License AGPL-3.0 03
claude-presence Discord Rich Presence for Claude Code, in Rust: a small daemon, driven by Claude Code’s hooks, that shows what a session is doing on your Discord profile.
Uses about 3 to 4 MB of memory and has no polling loop; a hook call takes about 2 ms. Keeps lifetime stats in one SQLite file, imported from your existing transcripts. Installs itself as a per-user service on Linux, macOS and Windows. Built with Rust, SQLite Status Version 0.2.0, installed with cargo License Apache-2.0 04
neocaca A modal terminal code editor in Zig, with Kakoune-style keys, multiple selections, regex search and undo.
Ships with bounds and overflow checks on; its SIMD text scanning still runs at about 14 to 24 GiB/s. Treats file contents as untrusted: escape sequences and control bytes are shown, never written to the terminal raw. Saves atomically, so a crash never truncates a file. Made at Poopware Laboratories ↗ , contributorBuilt with Zig, mimalloc Status Early days: edits one file at a time, with no syntax highlighting yet License AGPL-3.0 05
4suite A self-contained boot stack for Linux in C: 4init, an init that runs as PID 1 and only manages processes, and 4rc, a service manager.
4init is 81 lines of C, linked statically against musl. Built with C, musl, Ninja Status Experimental License MIT Built with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Cloudflare Workers Status Live License BSD-3-Clause Skills
