Hello, I'm
Alviss Raghnall
Building at every layer, from region-based memory allocators in Rust to production full-stack platforms. Deeply invested in cryptography, blockchain protocols, media streaming, and low-level engineering.
About Me
I'm an engineer who works across the full stack. I've implemented bump allocators without the standard library, built HTTP Live Streaming servers from the ground up, and written cryptographic primitives from scratch.
On the web side, I've built e-commerce platforms, blog sites, and blockchain backends using React, Svelte, Angular, NestJS, and Go. I believe the best engineers understand the machine as well as the framework, and I strive to operate at every level in between.
Currently I'm exploring systems engineering, media streaming, and distributed systems architecture. I'm equally comfortable debugging a segfault in a no_std Rust crate as I am shipping a React frontend with a NestJS API.
Systems & Low-Level
Writing systems software in Rust and Go: allocators, protocol parsers, streaming engines, and cryptographic primitives. Comfortable working without the standard library.
Full-Stack Engineering
Building production-grade web applications with React, Svelte, Angular, and NestJS (Node.js). From pixel-perfect UIs to scalable APIs with beautiful architecture.
Blockchain & Cryptography
Implementing consensus protocols, smart contract platforms, and cryptographic schemes. Experience with Solidity, Sui/Move, and hash-based signature systems.
Work Experience
Full Stack Engineer
Freelancing
Been contributing to various web projects, as an independent contractor.
Full Stack Developer
DreamUp
Played a pivotal role in designing and developing robust web applications. Utilized expertise in React and NestJS to create engaging user interfaces and implement efficient server-side functionalities. Optimized existing applications, improving overall performance and user experience.
Backend Developer
Clarion Schools
Built the entire backend web architecture of the school's web application using Java & Spring Boot with the MVC Design Pattern, Hibernate with Postgres, Spring Security, and configuring adapters while packaging by feature.
Frontend Developer
Aspree Technologies
Built static and dynamic websites using HTML, CSS & JavaScript, implementing Web API calls by fetching data from third-party APIs. Developed responsive and cross-browser compatible interfaces.
My Projects
Piree
Secure messaging platform to send and receive anonymous messages. Just like ngl, but with the extra perk of being able to respond to messages [anonymously] in-app. Features PWA support, and push notifications.
bump-alloc
A compact, self-contained bump allocator implemented in Rust without the standard library. Exercises manual memory management and heap allocator internals at the systems level.
hls-server
A pure-Rust HTTP Live Streaming server with a full playlist parser, lexer, and streaming engine. Handles media segment parsing, playlist generation, and concurrent network serving without wrapping FFmpeg.
password-manager
A local encrypted password manager that stores credentials securely using strong cryptographic primitives. Clear separation between storage, crypto, and interface layers with rigorous error handling.
Stewfish Chess Engine
A chess engine written in Go featuring magic biboards (with Hyperbola Quintessence) move generation, board evaluation, and search algorithms including minimax with alpha-beta pruning. Optimized for concurrency with efficient state representation.
cryptographic-algorithms
A curated collection of classic cryptographic primitives developed over a #100DaysOfCryptography challenge. Covers hashing, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and authentication schemes with test suites.
go-blockchain
A Bitcoin-style blockchain implementation introducing NIPOPOW consensus. Handles transaction propagation, block validation, Merkle trees, and peer management, demonstrating protocol-level understanding.
astarr
A production-grade e-commerce platform with a React frontend and NestJS backend powered by Passport authentication. Covers product catalogues, carts, orders, and payment integration with modular NestJS architecture.
ng-blog
A feature-rich blog platform with Google and GitHub OAuth, full commenting system, likes, tagging, and granular user role management. Angular frontend with a structured NestJS API backend.
sui-memecoin-launchpad
Backend for a memecoin launchpad on the Sui blockchain. Migrated Express to NestJS for type safety; the solution generates Move template files compiled on-the-fly to deploy new coins where the SDK lacked arbitrary currency creation.
canterball
A browser-based remake of a childhood football game where players control small puck-like pieces to kick a ball around a pitch. Built with SvelteKit, Hono API layer, and deployed on Cloudflare at the edge.
