Hey, I'm Seuriin.

"Building things to see if they'll break. Usually, they do."

I'm a BSIT student at the Colegio de Montalban, but mostly I'm just a guy who finds joy in the deep, weird corners of computer science. My journey isn't about climbing a corporate ladder; it's about satisfying a relentless curiosity. Why does a JavaScript engine work the way it does? Can you store data in DNA? How tf does that one work? Can I try to build something like that?

These are the kinds of questions that lead me down rabbit holes. I'm not an expert—I'm just a tinkerer. Most of my projects are academic explorations, born from a desire to understand systems by building them from first principles.

• 🎓 Currently: Surmounting the BSIT grind. Life's catching up. 😿
• 🧪 My Playground: Web dev, systems programming, virtualization, security and sometimes DBs.
• 🦀 Current Obsession: Writing something in Rust and fighting the borrow checker (The borrow checker is still winning, but I'm landing punches now).
• 🎨 Confession: I'm BAD at things I do.

I like to build impractical but fascinating things. Here are a few of the rabbit holes I've gone down.

Project	Description	Stack
VortexJS	An experimental JavaScript virtualization engine. It's a source-to-source compiler that transforms JS into a custom bytecode format, executed by a polymorphic, stackless virtual machine to explore software protection theory.
Iris	A distributed actor-model runtime bridging Rust and Python. It implements a BEAM-inspired cooperative reduction scheduler, zero-copy messaging, and atomic hot-code swapping to explore high-concurrency distributed meshes.
ChaosLattice	An experimental Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) runtime. It challenges standard cryptography by using deterministic chaotic attractors for RLWE noise. Features a custom encrypted stack VM capable of oblivious evaluation and bounded control flow.
MirageFS	A high-stealth steganographic virtual block device. It mounts encrypted storage inside media (PNG/MP4/etc) via FUSE or WebDAV. Features a self-hosted Web UI, Hybrid RAID striping, and camouflages data as H.264 NAL-unit filler to defeat forensic analysis.
argus	A high-performance, entropy-based secret scanner. It combines Aho-Corasick pattern matching with Shannon entropy analysis to detect potential leaks. Features a "Story" engine that analyzes control flow and variable context to distinguish true risks from noise.
Helix	A systems-level DNA storage archiver. This compiler translates binary files into biostable DNA sequences, implementing a full storage stack including XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption, Reed-Solomon error correction, and a Viterbi decoder for indel correction.
ChronosDB	A distributed, vector-native, time-traveling database built in Rust. It combines HNSW for vector search, Raft for consensus, and a bi-temporal data model, allowing you to query the state of your data at any point in time.
Project Aether	A user-space TCP/IP stack written from scratch in Rust to bypass the kernel. It's a raw, high-throughput experiment that prioritizes speed over reliability by stripping out features like retransmission and congestion control.
Sigilus Security	A multi-stage, WebAssembly-based security framework for protecting web APIs. It uses a proof-of-execution challenge to provision a client-side request-signing WASM, making automated threats more difficult.

My approach is simple: build from scratch to truly understand. I believe you can't claim to know a system until you've tried (and failed) to build a replica of it.

• Languages: I think in Python & JavaScript, but I'll write Rust, or PHP if the problem calls for it.
• Backend & Data: My go-to stack is FastAPI + MongoDB/MySQL + Redis. I'm also comfortable with Node.js and Next.js for full-stack work.
• Systems & Low-Level: This is where the real fun is. I enjoy designing bytecode for simple custom VMs, do something in babel, and exploring the guts of technologies like WASM.
• Tools of the Trade: I live in the terminal. My favorite editor is KDE Kate for its simplicity and power, but I fall back to VSCode when the Rust compiler starts yelling at me.

I'm always open to talking shop about weird stuff, debating why Python is slow??, or just asking for manga recommendations. If you're working on something weird and interesting, feel free to reach out.
