## About Me



### Programming languages

- **PHP**: I mainly worked with projects related to [PocketMine-MP](https://pmmp.io) during secondary school.

  Since PHP was [unfortunately selected](https://doc.pmmp.io/en/rtfd/faq/about/why-php.html)

  as the language for PocketMine-MP, the related projects used PHP as well.

- **Rust**: Most of my personal projects are in Rust since 2019.

  I also engage on the rust language community discord regularly.

- **Go**: I have been working on Kubernetes-related projects in ByteDance,

  where Go is the first class language (also quite unfortunately).



### Scripting languages

- **jq**: I use jq for all scripting only involving deterministic computation.

- **Python**: I use Python as my calculator app and makeshift plotting tool.



### Development environment

- **Linux**: i :clap: use :clap: arch :clap: btw :clap: (with GNOME).

- **Bash**: My login shell is Bash.

- **Neovim**: My setup is [here](https://github.com/SOF3/nvim-config).

- And I ssh over tmux over mosh over iTerm2 when I am stuck with a MacBook.

- **Git**: I always prefer merge commits over rebasing.

  Force-pushing branches that have been checked out by other people is a crime.



### Statistics

~~Just some stickers like everyone else does because why not~~

## Personal blog

I have started jotting down some of my weird opinions

in the [wiki](https://github.com/SOF3/SOF3/wiki) of this personal repo.



## Highlighted projects

- I have started a lot of open-source projects for personal interest,

  but many are incomplete because of lack of time and financial support.

  Incomplete projects are marked as :hourglass_flowing_sand:.

- Each section is sorted in descending order of my personal affection for the projects.

  Projects beyond a certain threshold of personal affection are not listed here.

- Only projects where I am/was a maintainer are listed here.

  [Search on GitHub](https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3ASOF3)

  for a full list of my external contributions.



### General-purpose libraries



#### PHP

- [await-generator](https://github.com/SOF3/await-generator), a PHP library that enables async/await pattern.

- [thisrc](https://github.com/SOF3/php-ext-thisrc), a PHP extension that observes the refcount of the `$this` object without inducing side effects



#### Rust

- [portrait](https://github.com/SOF3/portrait), a Rust proc-macro framework to write trait-aware proc-macro attributes such as impl-by-delegation.

- [wordvec](https://github.com/SOF3/wordvec), a Rust library providing a thin and small vector with only 1/3 memory footprint of smallvec and comparable performance.

- [include-flate](https://github.com/SOF3/include-flate), a Rust macro for attaching constants as deflated strings in the executable.

- [dirmod](https://github.com/SOF3/dirmod), a Rust macro to smartly detect modules to include.

- [phar.rs](https://github.com/SOF3/phar.rs), a Rust library for the PHAR (PHp ARchive) format. Also includes a WASM app and a CLI command for phar manipulation.

- [xylem](https://github.com/SOF3/xylem), a Rust framework for statetul type conversion (a post-deserialize processing stage).



I have also created numerous tiny libraries in Rust,

but those generally have very ad-hoc purposes

and are not known to have any real users other than myself.

Check [crates.io](https://crates.io/users/SOF3?sort=recent-downloads) for a full list of my crayon crates.



#### JavaScript

- [rwlock-promise](https://github.com/SOF3/rwlock-promise), a JavaScript library that implements mutually-exclusive and shared-exclusive locks with a Promise API



### Programming language analysis

- [enclavlow](https://github.com/SOF3/enclavlow), my final year project that performs Java flow analysis to verify SGX data security.



### Cloud

These projects (and only these projects) are related to my work at ByteDance.



- [Kelemetry](https://github.com/kubewharf/kelemetry), an observability tool to provide global control plane tracing for Kubernetes.

- [Podseidon](https://github.com/kubewharf/podseidon), a Kubernetes webhook to protect pod deletion in multi-cluster microservices.

- [KubeAdmiral](https://github.com/kubewharf/kubeadmiral), a multi-cluster orchestrator and scheduler for Kubernetes.

- [KubeZoo](https://github.com/kubewharf/kubezoo), a lightweight multi-tenancy solution for Kubernetes.



### Game development

- [PocketMine-MP](https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-MP), a reverse-engineered Minecraft server software.

  - PocketMine-MP has a huge ecosystem of plugins, and most of my work in earlier years were related to developing tools and cohesion of the ecosystem,

    such as dependency management, build tools and common-dependency APIs.

  - PocketMine-MP is an ancient project started in 2012. Some of my contributions include introducing modern tools and paradigms to the project.

- :hourglass_flowing_sand: [dynec](https://github.com/SOF3/dynec), an ECS library that focuses on type safety and optimized for specific scenarios.

- :hourglass_flowing_sand: [Traffloat](https://github.com/traffloat/traffloat), a logistics simulation game written in Rust.

- :hourglass_flowing_sand: [omniatc](https://github.com/SOF3/omniatc), an open-source air traffic control simulator game in Rust.



### Robotics

I was a member of the [HKU Robocon Team](https://github.com/m2robocon).



### Android development

I developed these small apps for personal use over the years.



- [AndTransfer](https://github.com/SOF3/AndTransfer), a simple Android app that shares files to any [transfer.sh](https://transfer.sh) server.

- [Mentamatics](https://github.com/SOF3/Mentamatics), an app for practising mental arithmetic calculation.

- [MySQLClientCompact](https://github.com/SOF3/MySQLClientCompact), a small MySQL browser.



### Discord bots



- [bthint](https://github.com/SOF3/bthint), to tell people to \`\`\` their code blocks when asking for help.

- [orbs.bot](https://github.com/SOF3/orbs.bot), a fan project that reverse engineers the API of the webgame orbs.it and mirrors live games

## More noise that nobody cares

More about myself:

- I started coding in 2013, previously known as [@PEMapModder](https://github.com/PEMapModder),

  but I stopped using that account in an unsuccessful attempt

  to detox from my programming addiction in 2016 (which ended up to be a Hydra).

- I studied stuff related to computer science, statistics and mathematics in the University of Hong Kong,

  but I never got good grades in mathematics and never even liked statistics, so just forget it.

- I have been working in ByteDance since 2021 on Kubernetes and scheduling.



Interests:

- Please nerd snipe me with content related to aviation and classical music.

- I don't like working on problems without a deterministic solution.

  Thus, none of my projects are related to statistical learning, AI or LLMs.

- I never monetize my personal projects.

  I never work on anything directly related to e-commerce, advertisement.

  I will never work on anything directly related financial investment and trading.
