👋 Hi, I'm Richie

Open to Work

CS Graduate · Backend Engineer · Open Source Builder
Building practical systems, one problem at a time

C++ Go Python IoT MQTT Distributed Systems


🧭 What I'm Focused On

Production-ready backend systems that run on real constraints.
No hype. Just working code.

Current driver:
agrisense – open-source IoT monitoring platform

  • 2,300+ req/s, <6ms P95 latency
  • Device management, rule-based alerting, full Docker deployment
  • Runs on a $10 VPS – built for small farms and edge environments

I'm a CS graduate passionate about building efficient, scalable backend systems. I love contributing to open source and exploring low-level programming challenges. Currently seeking full-time opportunities in backend development and systems design.

  • 🌱 Always diving deeper into systems programming and architecture
  • 🤝 Happy to collaborate on interesting projects—reach out any time
  • 🎯 Open to work — actively seeking backend/systems development, AI, or anything that sparks curiosity

📦 Projects

Project Description Stack
agrisense Production IoT platform – data ingestion, alerts, dashboard Go, EMQX, PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, Redis, Docker
high-performance-server HTTP server from scratch (Epoll ET + thread pool + timer) C++, Linux, Epoll
Student Management System Cross-platform desktop app with multi-language, export C++, Qt6, SQLite

More on repositories.


🔜 Problems I'm exploring (experimental / no production code yet)

I'm curious about making IoT systems smarter without expensive hardware:

  • Session memory for agents: How to retain context without resending full history? → experimenting with RAG + vector DB on CPU.
  • Low-cost anomaly detection: Can a tiny LLM (3B) on a $10 VPS suggest useful alert thresholds? → learning Ollama + Go embedding.

These are learning explorations. I'll share what works (and what fails).


🔧 How I Work

  • Solve one concrete problem at a time
  • Fast iteration, then public documentation
  • Learn only what the current problem requires

I don't post much, but I reply to real issues and genuine collaboration.
