Personal Portfolio
Welcome to my self-hosted portfolio, where I show off all of my passion projects. You'll find a public mining pool, my GitHub projects, custom applications of my Bitcoin node, and even a modified Minecraft server for friends. These are projects I maintain to challenge myself while having the luxury to label my hobbies as productive. Enjoy looking around, and contact me if you have any questions!
View my research conducted under the support of Bitcoin Policy Institute's REU Program. You will find my recorded presentation from the BPI Colloquium, the live slides I presented, and all my completed research.
A public mining pool running with my own node, reachable over clearnet or as a Tor hidden service. Live stats, leaderboards, and block odds are generated from the pool logs. It has successfully handled up to 2 PH/s of mining power at once, and boasts an incredible reliability score for a home server project.
A live tracker of arbitrary data on the Bitcoin blockchain, filtered by BIP-110 compliant limits. It surfaces a lot of excellent data on non-monetary payloads and their impact. Whatever your views on blockchain spam, monitoring the health of Bitcoin and its primary role as a monetary network matters.
Inspired by my research into the Core vs Knots debate, I wanted an effective communication system, carried by the Bitcoin P2P network, that lets verified node operators talk to each other, display what they are signaling for, and hold a proper discussion on relay and consensus. It uses node peers for contact discovery, maps the connections, and opens its own authenticated channel between daemons so two operators can chat with no third party in between.
A self-hosted block and fee explorer served from my own Bitcoin node, which means more trust and better reliability than querying somebody else's.
A fully modified Vanilla+ Minecraft survival server that aims to emulate a now-closed server I loved, using my CS background and vibe coding to reclaim part of my childhood. It adds custom items, brand-new gameplay features, and unique challenges, while requiring no client-side mods to play.
This project came out of the nostalgia of starting a crypto farm in my parents' garage back in 2020, which always reminded me of a tycoon game's core loop: start small, reinvest the income, build an empire. Some creative liberties have been taken for the sake of gameplay, but it captures part of the satisfaction that growing a real mining operation gave me.
