Systems programmer trained in a zero-instruction, peer-to-peer curriculum. I write memory-safe C, reverse-engineer binaries, and build constrained-decoding systems that force LLMs into valid structured output. No frameworks I can't explain from the syscall up.
I'm a student at 1337 Coding School, the Morocco campus of the 42 Network — a curriculum with no lectures, no professors, and no instructions beyond a spec sheet and a peer next to you who's stuck on the same problem. You either dismantle the problem to first principles or you don't ship.
That environment shaped how I work: I don't reach for a library until I understand what it's abstracting away. I've rebuilt core parts of the C standard library from scratch, chased memory leaks with Valgrind until the count hit zero, and stepped through binaries in x32dbg to understand execution paths compilers won't show you.
Right now that same first-principles approach is pointed at LLM systems: building a finite state machine that constrains token generation so a model's output is structurally guaranteed to be valid JSON — not validated after the fact, guaranteed during decoding.
A finite state machine that constrains LLM token generation to a target grammar, guaranteeing valid JSON matching a function-call schema at decode time. Focus: eliminating hot-path bottlenecks and correct state tracking, not post-hoc validation.
View DetailsA from-scratch reimplementation of core C standard library functions plus a full variadic-argument printf clone, built without libc shortcuts. Zero memory leaks verified under Valgrind, strict adherence to C89 constraints.
View DetailsA BFS/DFS-based solver for shortest-path and reachability problems over graph-encoded matrices, built to compare traversal strategies under different time/space tradeoffs rather than to pass a single test case.

Building a constrained token-generation system that forces LLM output into valid, schema-matching JSON via finite state machines. Parallel work in x32dbg on binary analysis and control-flow patching.
1337 Coding School (42 Network)
Rebuilt the C standard library from scratch (Libft, ft_printf), wrote Bash automation tooling, and set up secure SSH/Ngrok remote access tunnels — all peer-reviewed, zero written instructions.
1337 Coding School (42 Network)
A month-long, no-lecture selection process solving algorithmic C problems solo and in pairs. Where the first-principles-only, dismantle-it-yourself approach to code was forced, not taught.
