Every project below — designed, built, and shipped by one person.

One operating system on hold after a real release, another back in active development, an encrypted vault whose next release is on hold, a reference workspace that ships most weeks, and a platformer you can play now. Every case study links to real code, real screenshots or a live download.

On Hold v10.12.5

Nexus

Your private files, sealed behind one password.

Encrypted personal vault for Windows. AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption with Argon2id key derivation. Windows Hello unlock, in-app SHA-256-verified updater, portable mode. Fully offline, zero telemetry. Source is proprietary; public repo hosts releases and Discord community only.

Kanvaz

Your canvas. Your references.

Visual reference workspace for VFX and 3D artists. Live 3D model preview (glTF, OBJ, FBX, STL, USD, and more), typed connections with a Map View, a Scratch Board drawing layer, a Task Tracker, shared cards across boards, and 14 board templates. Plugin system with a local-only MCP Bridge: an AI agent can read and edit the active board, off by default and undo-reversible. Windows, macOS and Linux builds. Free forever, MIT-licensed, no telemetry.

Project Ascent

A precision platformer where the only thing between you and the top is your own timing.

A 25-level, 5-act 2D precision platformer built in Godot 4: full moveset from the start (run, jump, wall-jump, dash, slide, ground pound, wall run, ledge grab, grapple), five boss chases on a visible countdown, and a shared cyberpunk UI across every screen. Offline-first: no accounts, no backend, no ads, no network runtime beyond an optional signed update check. Ships for Windows, macOS, Linux, and browser (playable on itch.io) from one codebase.

Active V1 Beta (hardware testing)

Pursue OS

One operating system for the investigation workflow.

Investigation-focused Linux OS for OSINT, DFIR, secure research, intelligence gathering, and evidence-driven workflows. Two flagship interfaces: Investigation Terminal + Investigation Browser with integrated Tor. Case Vault uses content-addressed SHA-256 storage with an append-only, hash-chained audit trail. Apache 2.0. Built by P4inz. Core V1 implementation is complete: a candidate ISO exists and has passed automated QEMU boot and live-flow validation. Not yet a public download -- hardware and manual testing is the current phase.

Mission OS

A privacy-first Linux OS built for developers, designers, and systems engineers who ship.

A privacy-first, offline-first Linux operating system built on Debian Stable and KDE Plasma. Four pillars: privacy-first, security-conscious, portable-first, offline-first. Ships hardened by default: sysctl hardening and Mission OS's Rust system services are enabled automatically during install, no post-install script needed. Installer is Calamares, customized with Mission OS branding and a Python post-install module. No telemetry, ever.
