I build developer tools in Rust — and a dictionary for a script almost nobody can read anymore.

Aerospace engineering to CAE software to AI developer tools. I build a Rust engine, open-source it, then ship products on top — twice so far.

I'm a software engineer with 7+ years of experience. Started in aerospace engineering, moved into CAE software, then full-stack web development, and now I'm building AI-powered tools.

Currently at SIMCEL building supply chain simulation software.

On the side I work to a pattern: build the hard part as a reusable Rust engine, publish it, then ship products on top of it. `pr-review-core` on crates.io became Kaniscope, a GitHub App for AI code review, and the merge gate inside Vexar. `video-transcriber-mcp-rs` became Whisgram, a commercial video-notes product. The engines stay open; the products are where the product work goes.

Plus Nôm Na Việt, a Hán Nôm dictionary with a handwriting recogniser I trained from scratch.

I like solving hard problems and shipping things that work.

    $ vexarvexar.nvnv.app

    $# pid status stack

    001 Live 8

    A cockpit for running coding agents in parallel. Each session gets its own git worktree and terminal, so `claude`, `gemini` or `codex` work on separate branches at once without clobbering each other — then one screen to review the diff, read the findings and merge or discard. The merge gate runs on my own `pr-review-core` crate. Native Tauri app in Rust, ~10 MB signed and notarized, against 200 MB+ for an Electron equivalent.

    $ kaniscopegithub.com/apps/kaniscope-ai-review

    $# pid status stack

    002 Live 6

    AI code review as a GitHub App and Marketplace Action, built on `pr-review-core`. Posts line-anchored inline findings plus a summary, with `/review`, `/ask` and `/describe` commands and an OSV.dev dependency CVE scan. Tuned for precision over volume: symbol-matched reanchoring for findings that drift off the diff, a skeptical self-critique pass, per-finding confidence thresholds, and a two-tier agentic mode that pairs a cheap exploration model with a stronger synthesis model. Measured, not assumed — a hand-verified corpus records what every review round got right, wrong and missed, scoring 80% precision across 34 rounds with false positives broken out by the severity they were filed at. Recall is deliberately not reported — a miss only enters the corpus once someone finds it later, so that column is a floor, not a rate. The harness has cut features of mine that didn't earn their keep.

    003 Live 6

    The open engine underneath Kaniscope and Vexar's merge gate. A reusable Rust crate that pulls a PR diff, reviews it with a Claude model via OpenRouter, and posts inline comments anchored to the diff — against GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, with no org API key or admin rights needed. tree-sitter structural context across five languages, and a bench harness scoring precision and recall against a ground-truth corpus so changes can be measured. Published to crates.io and docs.rs.

    004 Live 9

    Commercial product built on my own open-source transcription engine (`video-transcriber-mcp-rs`, below), pulled in as a pinned submodule. Paste a video link and get AI study notes, an editable concept diagram, flashcards and a clickable timestamped transcript in about a minute — then ask questions across your whole library and get answers that cite the exact videos they came from. Whisper transcribes, Claude summarizes. Chrome side-panel extension plus web app, GPU workers on Modal, deployed on Fly.io, metered billing from $0.10 a video.

    005 Live 5

    The open engine underneath Whisgram. Video transcription MCP server in Rust on whisper.cpp — 6x faster and 2.5x lighter on memory than the Python equivalent, 1000+ platforms via yt-dlp, 90+ languages, fully offline. Whisgram consumes it as a pinned submodule, so the engine stays public while the product stays private. Published to crates.io and Homebrew with prebuilt macOS, Linux and Windows binaries.

    006 Live 6

    Windows desktop automation for coding agents, over MCP. Drives applications through UI Automation control patterns rather than screenshots — an action is a contract with a control, not a guess about pixels — and it refuses rather than guesses when a selector matches two things. One 7 MB Rust binary and seven narrow tools running elevated, where the Python equivalent loads 95 packages and 105 native modules into a process holding an admin token. OCR fallback for applications that draw their own interface and expose no UI tree at all. Published to crates.io with prebuilt Windows binaries.

Eight ways to look up a character — text, handwriting, photo OCR, voice, semantic, radical — plus a handwriting recogniser trained in-house (PyTorch, exported to ONNX, benchmarked against the Columbia and Albert manuscript sets), manuscript OCR, readings in five languages, bidirectional Vietnamese ↔ Nôm conversion with LLM disambiguation, and spaced-repetition flashcards.
