Hi, I'm Michael!
I'm a Computer Science graduate and research assistant from United Kingdom.
My current research interests centre on privacy redesigns of common systems, secure cloud and networks engineering, and embedded and IoT.
Currently focused on building projects and researching, attempting to increase my knowledge and understanding of distributed systems and networking.
Looking for my next thing. Come say hi!
- Potok — A self-hosted Obsidian cross-device file syncer.
- Vestnik — A terminal-based RSS feed aggregator built with Bubble Tea and Lip Gloss.
- Zadacha - An open-source research implementation of a Distributed Job Queue using Go and Redis.
I occasionally write blogs on mtil.uk:
