The stream database optimised for event sourcing

Hi there 👋, my name is Martin

I am a polyglot programmer and open source enthusiast, working as a consultant at Forse

• I've built
  • Mediator - a fast (close to 0 overhead) sourcegenerator-based mediator pattern implementation in .NET. Mostly MediatR-compatible, but faster
  • Fast.PRNGs.NET - fast PRNG implementations (up to 2.5x faster than System.Random)
  • simd-rand - SIMD implementations of common PRNGs in Rust 🦀 (for example Xoshiro256+ ~60 GiB/s u64 gen using AVX512 on my laptop, about 6x faster than non-vectorized)
  • "building x in y" - experiments and learning about systems programming, programming languages, architectures and designs
    • Simulating football seasons using the Monte Carlo method in Rust - lots of SIMD and performance engineering
    • HTTP servers - experimenting with various techniques and architectures for performent HTTP servers: IO Uring, Linux, thread-per-core...
    • Calculation Engine - calculatione engine with a builder API for creating formulas while doing vectorized calculations over columns of data
• Currently exploring Rust, Zig and Go

I strive to make simple, observable systems - employing mechanical sympathy to build efficient and reliable software.
