Custom ROM porting
Bringing clean, fast Android builds to devices the manufacturer abandoned - patching device trees, fixing blobs, and getting everything booting stable.

developer / custom ROM & kernel porter / phone tech
I take phones apart and put them back together better than I found them - porting custom ROMs and kernels, fixing hardware, and squeezing performance out of devices everyone else gave up on. When I step away from the terminal, I'm watching Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing chase another win.

Phones, ROMs, and a lot of terminal time
Most of what I do lives close to the metal: porting Android to devices that need a second life, tuning kernels, and fixing the hardware along the way.
Kernel tuning
Compiling and tweaking kernels for better battery, thermals, and responsiveness. Governors, schedulers, and the occasional 3am bisect.

Phone repair
Screen swaps, battery replacements, board-level fixes, and data recovery. If it powers on, there's usually a way back.

Recovery & rooting
Flashing recoveries, unbricking dead devices, and setting up root the right way - safe, reversible, and properly documented.

Red Bull blue runs in the code
F1 is engineering you can hear. I follow every session, every strategy call, every undercut - and I'm a Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen fan through and through.
Simply lovely

Got a dead phone or a wild idea?
Open to ROM and kernel collaborations, repairs, and anything that involves making hardware do more than it was supposed to.
