I build from the register to the interface.

I'm Cyrus. I write software and work in architecture. I studied Computer Engineering at Simon Fraser University, with a minor in Mathematics. Most of my projects start with something I want to use, and I tend to keep going until I understand how the parts underneath it work. That has taken me from web apps to Rust tools, graphics engines and hardware.

I've built an online shop that's taking orders, published two Rust crates, and built tools for working with architectural drawings and survey data. Some projects come out of my day job. Others exist because I got curious and wanted to try something. One of the Rust crates adds goto to a language that left it out on purpose.

At Inscribe Architects, I work on building plans, design development and detailing, alongside software for visualisation, client presentations and project tracking. I'm also working towards a B.Tech in Civil Engineering at Thapar.
