About Me

I'm Kyle R. Augustine — a full-stack software engineer and systems architect who thrives at the intersection of low-level systems programming and modern developer tooling.

I designed and built Lateralus, a programming language with its own compiler, virtual machine, type system, package manager, VS Code extension, and a bare-metal operating system — all from scratch. My work spans the entire stack: from hand-written x86 assembly and freestanding C kernels to Python frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and interactive web playgrounds.

I believe in building in public, writing clean code that teaches, and creating tools that empower developers. Every project I ship is designed to be understandable, extensible, and well-documented.
