I work across software, electronics, and data, with a focus on systems programming, game development, automation, and infrastructure-oriented tooling. My projects often combine implementation with measurement, using benchmarks, visualizations, and prototypes to make trade-offs explicit.
I approach projects iteratively: build, measure, refine, and document. Some repositories are production-ready tools, while others are focused experiments used to validate a design or architectural approach.
I value efficiency and leverage through automation, clear interfaces, and practical tooling that reduces friction between an idea and a working system.
In practice, that means building systems, observing how they behave, and refining them until they are reliable, understandable, and useful.
My Factorio community and server-operations work lives under the M45-Science GitHub organization. That org collects the public M45 Science Factorio tooling around Discord integration, moderation, server orchestration, community lists, download/proxy support, and related infrastructure.

Repository metadata was checked with GitHub CLI on July 12, 2026 across Distortions81 and the M45-Science GitHub organization. Public repositories are linked. Private repositories are intentionally named without links.
The ranked list favors visible engineering depth, hardware validation, operational use, and cross-domain integration over recency alone. Smaller utilities, mirrors, and lightly modified forks are grouped lower or omitted from the main ranking.
