Building a web app's platform, media systems, and developer tools.

I work across TypeScript, Rust, and WebAssembly to bring systems-level capabilities to the web. My current focus is FKN, a privacy oriented platform offering in-browser networking, storage, and more.

  • ExtensionPermission-based browser capabilities with per-app consent and local activity visibility.
  • DesktopA planned local backend for running more platform capabilities on the user's machine.
