hi, i'm xaw
crafting digital experiences with precision and passion
~ about me
been writing code since i was 15. started with lua/luau, got deep into how things work under the hood, and eventually picked up c++, rust, typescript, python along the way. i do everything from low-level stuff to web apps. if something runs code, i can probably figure it out.
Systems Programming
c++, rust. low-level work, memory stuff, writing fast native code.
Software Internals
digging into how software actually works. runtime behavior, engine architecture.
Scripting Engines
lua/luau vm internals, custom environments, runtime-level work.
Full-Stack Web
typescript, react, next.js, node. building actual web apps end to end.
Tooling & Automation
python mostly. internal tools, scripts, anything that saves time.
Adaptability
i pick things up fast. new language, new stack, doesn't matter.
