Systems Engineer · AI Orchestrator · Linux Internals
I design automated build pipelines, debug low-level boot sequences, and run local LLMs as offline engineering assistants. I don't memorize syntax — I architect solutions and verify them against real hardware.
- AeroKernel — custom Android kernel for sm6150 (sweet/sweetin): cloud CI, AnyKernel3 packaging, KernelSU build integration.
- Boot-regression forensics — bisecting an init-stage bootloop with
dmesg/pstoreanalysis and F2FS superblock evidence. - Local Systems-Agent — offline GGUF LLM fine-tuned for kernel-log triage.
| Competency | Proof |
|---|---|
| CI/CD & cloud build orchestration | AeroKernel pipeline — GitHub Actions cross-compiles a 4.14 kernel (Neutron Clang + GCC cross pair), packages flashable zips, publishes releases |
| Linux kernel & Android boot chain | Forked, configured (sweet_defconfig), built and flash-packaged a kernel; traced bootloader → kernel → init → zygote failures through dmesg |
| Low-level debugging & forensics | Bootloop case study — ramoops/pstore extraction, fsck.f2fs superblock versioning, device-mapper failure analysis |
| AI infrastructure | Fine-tuned + quantized a GGUF model on Colab for offline kernel-log triage; context engineering for codebase-scale analysis |
| Shell & build systems | Bash automation, Kbuild flags (LLVM_IAS=1, KCFLAGS), toolchain pinning, AnyKernel3 installer scripting |
Custom fork of Linux 4.14 (Vantom-based) for Redmi Note 10 Pro / Pro Max.
- Engineered a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline: toolchain provisioning, parallel make, artifact + release publishing.
- Automated AnyKernel3 flashable packaging (boot/dtbo/dtb handling) with installer-banner rebranding via
sedinjection. - Integrated KernelSU-Next at build time; validated hook initialization via kernel-log analysis.
- Running a controlled bisect on an init-stage boot regression (dtbo vs compiler vintage), commit by commit.
Offline, privacy-first LLM specialized in low-level systems triage.
- Fine-tuned on kernel mailing-list & boot-log corpora via Google Colab; quantized to GGUF for local inference.
- Used for
dmesg/pstoretriage: isolating panic signatures, driver probe failures, SELinux/AVB anomalies.
How a "green CI + flashable zip" can still bootloop — and how to prove why:
- Eliminated KernelSU as the culprit via a rootless probe build (bisect variable A).
- Proved the kernel reaches Android
initwith all drivers healthy (~2.5 s) using recovery-captureddmesg. - Located the failure window at device-mapper logical-partition updates (~3.9 s) → dtbo/ROM-layout hypothesis → boot-only flash test (v1.2).
