Ideally a founding engineer role at an early stage company, but open to offers. I like sinking my teeth into infra, systems, and AI. Currently working on an agent that helps combat cognitive debt, and monitors my self hosted personal cloud. Previously wrote an OS that plays pong (paging, uACPI, keyboard & sound drivers), and a competitive programming judge. Contracted for ZeroEntropy (YC W25), where I shipped their dashboard and a dev-friendly landing page/blog architecture. Also interned at Google, where I built a C++ telemetry pipeline for GCP network monitoring.

Just started:

1) bad apple on my kernel (OS)

2) language model + inference engine from scratch

3) sketchdaily.net, but you give it your own pinterest board of references instead of the preselected ones they have

Yeah, I get it. ANC can feel like you're underwater sometimes, but ear plugs won't get rid of that pressure feeling. You'd need an actually quiet room, which I guess is my ideal anyways.

I've had these before and can confirm they're great, noticeably lighter than my current Airpods Max.

FYI: I believe the XM4 is still vulnerable to CVE-2025-20700/20701/20702 if that's a concern for you.

> In open spaces I wear earplugs.

Noise canceling headphones do the trick for me, I just don’t play anything through them. I don’t like the feeling of something in my ears.

Seeking a role at a startup with ~1 year of experience. I was part of my university's programming team and my team won the ICPC Southeast regionals Div2 contest. I interned at Google for the Network Doctor team and have done freelance work for a YC-backed startup.

I like working Full Stack, Systems, and AI Engineering. Most recently, I've written an OS that can play Pong (https://github.com/Daves1245/horizon) (demo: https://medbar.dev).

If you're interested, you can schedule a quick chat with me at https://cal.com/david-santamaria-azyqyo/quick-chat

Cool idea. Wish my site drove real traffic instead of bots so I could add this and not confuse/bore visitors :’)

Looks like enemy movements are deterministic, wonder how feasible it is to script this. Was able to increase my score by 4 points trying alternate lines near the end

Looking for founding engineer roles at a startup. I have experience with YC-backed startups, interned at Google, and I'm comfortable across the stack from applications to metal. I have a background in competitive programming and math and spend most of my free time reading technical topics and working on projects that interest me, which usually falls into systems engineering, distributed systems, or AI engineering. Recently been porting DOOM to my hobby OS and working on a personal cloud.
