THE SHORT VERSION

Hacked rice.edu at 17.
Found SQL injection on Rice University’s website and pwnd them , later responsibly disclosing it.

Hacked into Waterloo’s GPU cluster.
Studied Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, then dropped out to build full time.

Built 3 Trillion request per month (1M RPS) query and URL transactor 
rushort, on four shared VPS CPUs. Loopback HTTP, 32 connections, pipeline depth 512; median of three runs, zero errors.

EXPERIENCE

Founding Engineer | ReferRush | Feb 2025 - Sep 2026
- Built Shopify installation, WhatsApp referrals and UPI payouts from the first commit, including PAN and TDS handling. The platform reached 2,300 merchants, 30M+ customers and $1M+ processed.
- Diagnosed a bank-reversal loop through payment-ID logs. Added a two-minute watchdog, EC2 worker recovery, alerts and payment isolation so other payouts could continue.
- Worked directly with customers and closed brands through sales.

Backend Engineer | Extraordinary.club | Jan 2024 - Jan 2025
- Built indexes, search and the customer directory powering onboarding for an O-1 visa platform.

Founder & Software Engineer | FnBC.ltd | Oct 2022 - Nov 2024
- Ran a freelance software agency alongside employment, building AI agents and full-stack products for clients.

Software Engineer | MailTime Email Client | Oct 2022 - Sep 2024
- Engineered email indexing, search and automation.

SELECTED PROJECTS

instantKV | Rust, Tokio, Axum, redb, MCP
https://github.com/maskjelly/instantKV
Built local-first agent memory in Rust: atomic topic/tag/time indexes, bounded BM25 search, revisioned writes and native OpenCode MCP. Measured 95.13% Recall@10 across all 500 LongMemEval-S questions with 14.34 MiB sampled server RAM on an M4 Pro.
Full LongMemEval-S answer accuracy: 85.20% with GPT-6 Luna as reader and judge, a model variant rather than official leaderboard parity. The memory engine needs no model or cloud calls. Source MVP; phone bindings and semantic search remain planned.

Morse | Rust agent runtime
https://github.com/maskjelly/morse
Built remote execution that continues after client disconnects, streamed tool output, persisted sessions, event replay and crash recovery. A separate side agent reports progress without interrupting active work.
Verified session recovery after a container restart on a VPS.

FireScope | TypeScript Firebase SDK & CLI
https://github.com/maskjelly/firescope
Built typed Functions/Firestore helpers, generated configuration and staged rebuilds. Verified HTTP, Hosting, callable functions and Firestore triggers in real emulators; added Node.js 22/24 CI.
Website: https://maskjelly.github.io/firescope/

TiVM | Python computer-use testing
https://github.com/maskjelly/TiVM
Built Linux desktop testing through accessibility, screenshots, video and reports. Added authenticated APIs, commit-pinned jobs, atomic queue claims, webhook deduplication and restart recovery.
Fixed host seccomp incompatibility blocking desktop startup.

rushort | Rust HTTP/1.1, Tokio, SQLite WAL
https://github.com/maskjelly/rushort
Built a raw HTTP service with commit-before-ack writes, live backups and rollback. Measured 1.34M redirects/s on a four-vCPU VPS: loopback, pipeline depth 512, median of three eight-second runs, zero errors.
The same comparison measured 34,423 redirects/s without pipelining. These are controlled local measurements, not public HTTPS capacity.

Rove | Rust terminal AI assistant
https://github.com/maskjelly/rove
Built streamed model/tool output, a live observer feed, bearer authentication and process-group timeouts; deployed verified commits through CI with rollback.
