Selected Open Source & Projects
Linux Kernel, mt76 WiFi Driver / Threaded NAPI RX path, Acked by the maintainer
Reworked the USB RX path in the mt76 WiFi drivers to run from a threaded NAPI, enabling GRO (frames were previously delivered with a NULL napi) and moving RX into its own kernel thread. Bulk TCP throughput on an mt7921u (2x2, 80 MHz, HE-MCS 11) went from ~380 to ~588 Mbit/s. Approach suggested and v3 Acked by maintainer Lorenzo Bianconi; submitted to linux-wireless.
Wine Adobe Installers / Featured on Phoronix, merged into Wine-Staging 11.1
Patched Wine's MSXML3 and MSHTML to enable Adobe Creative Cloud installers and Photoshop 2021/2025 on Linux, closing a 12-year-old bug. Covered in two Phoronix articles.
ValveSoftware/Proton, WineOpenXR / #37 all-time Proton contributor, 2 PRs merged by Valve
Implemented XR_KHR_win32_convert_performance_counter_time inside Proton's wineopenxr layer, including overflow-resistant QPC↔XrTime conversion and a per-call clock-domain correction. Made Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 VR fully playable on Proton for the first time. PRs #9347 and #9372.
Chain of Recursive Thoughts / 2,323 GitHub stars, HN #2
Prompt-loop pattern in ~200 lines of Python: the model drafts, self-critiques, and regenerates until its self-score stops improving. Held the Hacker News front page in May 2025 with 185+ comments.
AlphaEvolve Verification / Cited in IEEE Access 2026, 136 GitHub stars
Independent verification of DeepMind's AlphaEvolve 48-multiplication 4×4 matrix algorithm, the first improvement on Strassen's 1969 result. Cited twice in Prof. Ettore Napoli's IEEE Access 2026 paper on the first VLSI hardware implementation of AlphaEvolve — as the verification environment and as the source of the fully expanded equation form — and again in his LASCAS 2026 conference paper.
ValveSoftware/wine PR #331 / Open, May 2026
One-line fix for Wine's belauncher rejecting Win32 root-relative paths in BattlEye's BELauncher.ini: PathIsRelativeW returns FALSE for paths starting with a backslash, so the install-dir prepend guard was bypassed. Unblocks Contractors Showdown Exfilzone and similar BattlEye titles under Proton.
LibreCrawl / 659 GitHub stars
Open-source desktop SEO crawler, a free alternative to Screaming Frog. Python, Flask, Playwright. Crawling, link analysis, SEO extraction, exportable results.
The Crew 2 on Linux / First documented working setup, 84K views on r/linux_gaming
Diagnosed why The Crew 2 had been unlaunchable under Proton since release: the .NET-based d3dgear64 recording overlay was silently crashing Wine. Worked out the required WINEDLLOVERRIDES chain (uplay_r1_loader64=n,b; d3dgear64=d; atiadlxx/atiadlxy=b), tracked a launch-blocking regression to a specific Proton Experimental build, and live-debugged users' Proton logs in the thread.
Project Ariadne / Research, retrieval under anti-bot stacks
Retrieval system that pulls open-web pages through commercial anti-bot stacks. Includes a biomechanical input simulator: Plamondon delta-lognormal mouse kinematics on cubic Bézier hand-arcs, 8 to 12 Hz dwell tremor with sub-pixel jitter, trackpad momentum scrolling, and AR(1)-correlated digraph-class keystroke timing (Gentner 1983, Shaffer 1978) with transposition-typo self-correction. Method available to walk through under NDA.
Operation Killing Orchid / Anti-phishing operation, 2024
Three-pronged dismantling of an AU/NZ-targeting phishing ring (front: "Sybil Tones"): C2 mapping and data poisoning, Google Safe Browsing mass-reporting, and ASIO disclosure of the full domain network. Within two months most domains were down and phishing SMS volume fell from several per day to under one per month.
