a systems-level developer who enjoys building software that is fast, lightweight, and close to the metal. I write everything in C.
- Not because it's the easiest language.
- Not because it's the most modern one.
- But because it gives complete control over what the machine actually does.
This profile is dedicated to building software from the ground up.
- No heavy frameworks.
- No hidden abstractions.
- No giant dependency trees.
Just C, the compiler, and the machine.
Modern software often relies on thousands of external dependencies. While this approach is convenient, it also hides how systems actually work. The goal of this repository collection is different. Every project here aims to understand and implement things at their core. Instead of importing libraries, I prefer to build them myself. Not because it is required — but because building things yourself teaches you how they truly work.
C remains one of the most powerful languages for understanding computers. When you write software in C, there is very little standing between your code and the machine.
That simplicity is what makes it powerful.
I primarily work with C because I love how powerful and fast it is, while giving the programmer a high level of control over the hardware — especially memory and code execution. In C, everything is explicit, clear, and readable. You have to start thinking about:
- memory
- data layout
- performance
- architecture
- system interfaces
The downside of C is its age and the minimal standard libraries. Solving this problem is my main goal by implementing projects that are built by hand using only a few libc functions from headers like stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h, etc. Many functions provided by these headers have equivalent implementations in my library collection, e.g., intrinsic functions like memcpy and memset, or formatting/parsing functions like sprintf, itoa, etc.
Building libraries, abstracting behavior, and later reusing them is the core of programming. This is why the library collection is separate, and every project uses absolute paths that point to the headers. The library collection consists only of C header files (header-only). The reason is that this keeps the code compact and well structured (separating the C code into .h and .c files would be easy if needed).
The prefix Cmd_ indicates a command-line–like implementation of the tool — no GUI, no window, etc. Implementations with Gui_, on the other hand, always contain a window or other GUI components.
Not every library is defined for every combination of architecture and operating system. Most projects are built for x64, Ubuntu (GNU/Linux), and some for Windows (10/11). macOS and Emscripten are not supported (yet).
