I build Rust infra that collapses traditional,fragmented stacks into simpler, faster systems.

My work spans distributed systems, storage engines, safe memory reclamation,embedded targets, and cryptographic primitives - w/ an emphasis on determinism, supply-chain safety, and architectures that eliminate failure modes entirely.

cargo-rail — the Rust workspace toolchain, collapsed into one binary.

cargo-rail replaces work typically spread across 10+ Cargo plugins, release tools, GitHub Actions, and bespoke scripts—with one graph-aware tool, one rail.toml, and just 14 direct dependencies.

• Faster builds & dramatically less CI waste.
• A complete Rust release system.
• Split/Sync like Copybara w/o Copybara.
• One graph, one source of truth.

rscrypto — Pure-Rust cryptography built to outperform the incumbent stacks.

One no_std/WASM-native primitive stack covering hashes, AEADs, MACs, KDFs, password hashing, signatures, key exchange, ML-KEM, RSA, and checksums—with zero default dependencies and no production C/FFI, OpenSSL, or system-library coupling.

• 1.59× faster by geomean
• 5.18× for checksums, 1.56× for AEADs, 1.55× for RSA, 1.49× for ML-KEM, and 1.41× against the official BLAKE3 implementation
• Portable Rust is the authority; SIMD and ASM are accelerators.
• Security is proven by evidence; Pending Audit Financing Now

Both of the above projects are requirements of the work I'm doing. I use them everyday. I will maintain them as part of my reputation and my ongoing work indefinitely.

Founder and engineer at @alias-research. This is a stealth startup and will remain as such until it reaches a stable first public release.
