Production
Remitae (B2B SaaS)
- The Product
- Automated invoice reminders and Xero synchronization platform. Built on Next.js with strict multi-tenancy via Postgres RLS.
- Engineering Challenge
- Architected a serverless job system (Vercel Cron) for 15-minute sweep cycles. Currently migrating from polling-based architecture to event-driven row triggers to eliminate race conditions in high-volume syncs.
- Stack
- Next.js • Supabase • OAuth2 • Stripe • Playwright • Zod
- Status
- Live Service
Systems & ML
Osu!Mania ML Benchmark
- The Pipeline
- End-to-end rhythm game automation pipeline. Built a 51GB ingestion pipeline and pivoted from API inference to a local Causal TCN. Refactored dataset storage from JSON to memory-mapped arrays to handle 26M+ frames with zero-copy loading.
- Stack
- Python 3.11+ • PyTorch • librosa • ossapi • Memory-Mapped I/O
- Documentation
- Read the Engineering Devlog
Neural Network From Scratch (C++)
- Scope
- Built a feedforward neural network entirely in standard C++ with a contiguous-memory tensor engine, dense layers (Xavier init), activation dispatch via function pointers, explicit forward-pass caching for backprop, and a modular SGD optimizer.
- Key Work
- Debugged silent indexing corruption from flat tensors, implemented mathematically correct gradient propagation validated through finite-difference gradient checking, and created an MNIST CSV pipeline with normalization, one-hot encoding, batching, and deterministic shuffling.

- C++ • Custom Tensor Engine • Gradient Checking • SGD • MNIST
TraceX (OSINT Engine)
- The Engineering
- High-throughput Rust ingestion engine for OSINT datasets. Engineered to be highly concurrent, utilizing Kafka for backpressure to handle spikes in data flow.
- The Bottleneck
- Ingestion speed consistently outpaced upstream API limits (Telegram), resulting in only 40% local CPU utilization. outcome: Project concluded after analysis showed that storage costs for the resulting dataset exceeded the project's economic viability.
- Stack
- Rust • Kafka • Elasticsearch • PostgreSQL • Docker
nirOS (x86-64 Kernel)
- The Core
- Custom x86-64 kernel implementing bitmap physical allocation, four-level paging, and a minimal VFS (tarfs, devfs).
- Tech
- C • x86-64 Assembly • Limine Boot Protocol
- Source
- github.com/nir659/nirOS
Less
Self-Hosted Infrastructure
- Scope
- Full mail stack (Postfix/Dovecot/DKIM), Multi-tenant hosting control planes, and Nextcloud instances. Focused on strict auditability, containerization (Docker/Borg), and cost-management.
