Things I've built or contributed to. Each links to a longer write-up with technical details.

• SKiM Contributor (concurrency and caching) · shipped

  Memory-efficient ONT metagenomic classifier in Rust, published in Bioinformatics 2025. I built the external-memory caching subsystem: classifies against the full 17 GB Archaeal/Bacterial/Fungal/Viral NCBI reference DB in ~800 MB of RAM; 6× faster than mmap on Jetson.
