Hi, I'm Evan Ferrao 👋🏻

About

Currently designing products for humans.

I am a computer science student, software developer, devops enthusiast, linux power user, hardware tinkerer, reverse engineer, custom ROM enjoyer, ML explorer, privacy advocate and security paranoiac.

I enjoy building, breaking and rebuilding systems just to understand how they work. I am driven by curiosity, self-guided research and solving problems that sit somewhere between software, hardware and infrastructure.

During my time at VIT

I have worked on projects involving computer vision, embedded systems, networking, automation and self-hosted infrastructure. My interests range from Linux customization, reverse engineering, bootloader unlocking and custom ROM flashing to drones, hardware mods, DevOps workflows and experimenting with machine learning systems.

I care deeply about privacy, security and understanding the internals of the technology I use daily. Most of my projects eventually turn into an excuse to optimize workflows, automate repetitive tasks or overengineer something that probably worked fine already.

Currently

I am a fourth year student focused on building fast, practical and well-designed software while continuously experimenting with new technologies, infrastructure stacks and systems.
