Building a GGUF Parser and Tensor Loader From Scratch: A Portfolio Project That Actually Signals Systems Skill

Build a real GGUF parser and tensor loader from scratch in Rust — metadata parsing, q4_0/q8_0 dequantization, mmap’d weight streaming, and a minimal Llama forward pass. The kind of CV project that gets interviews at systems and ML infra teams.

Building an eBPF-Powered Packet Classifier in C: A CV-Worthy Systems Project

Build a production-shaped eBPF/XDP packet classifier from scratch in C. Real code, real architecture, and a clear roadmap to extend it into a senior-level systems project.

Building a Durable Job Queue in Postgres: A Portfolio Project That Signals Real Systems Skill

Build a production-flavored job queue on Postgres from scratch: schema, worker loop, retries with exponential backoff, and a dead-letter queue. A portfolio project that demonstrates real distributed systems thinking.
