Kiire Constantine
Systems Software Engineer
I'm interested in a deeper understanding of how computer systems are organized and work under the hood, beyond the abstraction layers we usually program against — memory, I/O, concurrency, and performance. I write about that journey on this blog. Outside of systems programming, I'm into math, physics, and games programming.
Currently hacking on the Zig programming language and building Zypher, an open-source web framework written in Zig.
