1. Systems & Infrastructure Engineering
   Delving into networking fundamentals (bridges, VxLAN, netlink, iptables), virtualization (KVM), and kernel interactions (OS concepts, microkernels).
2. Distributed Systems & Event Processing
   Designing for low-latency event streaming, consensus models, and real-time state replication.
3. Security & Cryptography
   Building with cryptographic protocols, certificate chains, decentralized identity, and encrypted storage standards.
4. Go-First Development
   A strong preference for Go across most projects—valuing clarity, performance, and native concurrency.
5. Research-Oriented Architecture
   Whether proving design ideas with microkernels, decentralized protocols, or PKI infrastructure, Tom leans into exploration and experimentation.
6. AI
   SOTA AI through massively scalable agentic harnesses.

Driven by curiosity—bridging theoretical concepts with practical tools that inspire not only personal learning but also community exploration. Whether you're interested in decentralized identity, observe how cryptographic models evolve, or just enjoy elegant infrastructure solutions, my work reflects a clear focus on transparency, modularity, and real-world applicability.
