TEMPORARY EXPERIMENTS
Code that exists briefly, proves a point, and dissolves. A workspace for ephemeral investigations in software, systems, and structure.
Concurrent State Machines
Exploring lock-free state transitions in distributed systems. A proof-of-concept for managing shared mutable state without mutexes, using compare-and-swap primitives.
Merkle Clock Synchronization
Can Merkle trees serve as distributed clocks? Testing convergence properties of hash-linked temporal structures across unreliable network partitions.
Zero-Copy Deserialization
Benchmarking approaches to deserializing structured data without memory allocation. Comparing rkyv, flatbuffers, and a custom arena-based approach.
Probabilistic Data Structures
Implementing Bloom filters, Count-Min sketches, and HyperLogLog from scratch. Measuring accuracy vs. memory trade-offs at scale.
WASM Edge Functions
Testing the viability of WebAssembly modules as edge compute units. Measuring cold start times, memory constraints, and inter-module communication overhead.
