A CLI and TUI hybrid messaging application built entirely in Go. Client built with Cobra, Bubbletea, Bubbles, and LipGloss for a fully terminal-native experience. Server built with Gin, PostgreSQL, Redis, and WebSockets for real-time messaging. JWT authentication, piped input/output support, and SQLite for local state.
About
Software engineer with an MS in Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology, focused on backend systems and infrastructure. I build with Go and JavaScript primarily — from CLI and TUI tools to distributed systems with message queues, graph databases, and real-time communication.
My projects are deliberate explorations. I pick a hard problem, go deep on the technology required to solve it, and build until I understand it well enough to make real design decisions. That has produced work across Neo4j, RabbitMQ, WebSockets, Redis, AWS, and FFmpeg among others.
