Hello, I'm Piero :D

• Computer Science student passionate about Computer Graphics, CPU & GPU architecture, pure mathematics, and physics.
• As you can probably tell, I'm all about computer architecture.

Current Projects

• Lettuce: A Vulkan graphics library built for desktop applications. There are a few demos if you want to try it out.

Lettuce Core	Lettuce Rendering	Lettuce Quimera

• Tilapia Server: A server-side framework built around a daemon, runtime, and IR. Written in C++23 on top of Winsock RIO, with an io_uring backend coming soon. (WIP)

Tilaria IR Visualizer	Tilapia Runtime

• ambarOS: A hobby operating system and microkernel written in C++23. Built for the fun of it, and yes, it boots in QEMU. (WIP)

What do I use?

• C++23 for anything performance-critical, built with GCC, Clang, or MSVC.
• Python when I absolutely need scripting.
• NASM whenever I write x86_64 assembly.
• Shaders? Slang.
• Vulkan is my primary graphics API, but I can work with DirectX 12 too.
• For web apps I use Bun or Node with Hono, and Vue is my frontend framework of choice.
• Windows 11 is my daily driver. I have no problem using Linux either—I just use whatever gets the job done.
• CMake? Just use xmake, Python scripts, or literally anything that's actually human-readable.

What do I build?

• High-performance software, real-time graphics, shaders, and low-level systems.
• Currently diving deeper into real-time rendering and high-performance networking (Winsock RIO and friends).
• Audio programming is next on the list. I just need more hours in the day.

Why am I like this?

• The conventional way is overrated. I'd rather understand how something works before I use it.
• If it's considered "too low-level", that's usually where I get interested.
• Maybe that's obsession. I call it curiosity.
