zeitue

Taylor, known online as zeitue. I’m a software and electrical engineer at PCDworks, where I also handle IT, and the lead engineer at Defenestra, the company that spun off from it to publish Hyperpane. Zalatek is my own; I founded it to build the things that don’t fit under either of those, which currently range from a Go web toolkit to an embedded terminal to a WiFi mouse. I have two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Texas at Tyler, one in software engineering and one in electrical engineering, and I speak English and Japanese with bits of other languages.

I started by teaching myself C in thirty days, then writing low-level operating system code, because I was using Windows at the time and it was a piece of trash, so I figured I’d try to build a better one; that was the actual beginning, and most of everything since has been picking up new things as I go. I know C, C++, Rust, Go, Java, Python, Ruby, Perl, Lua, Common Lisp, Clojure, TypeScript, JavaScript, bash, Nushell, PowerShell, and assembly for x86, x86-64, ARM64, RISC-V, and PowerPC, etc. I have experience with technologies like Zephyr, Ansible, Podman, and systemd, microcontrollers like the Nordic nRF52840 and nRF9160, Silicon Labs EFM32HG322F64, and TI CC1352P, and single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi Zero W and Raspberry Pi 4. I have built servers for companies and for my own homelab. The knowledge related to paravirtualization, mentioned in Pathway to Paravirtualization, is my own, and it is being integrated into Defenestra’s Hyperpane.
