Hello! I'm Tucker - a software engineer with too many hobbies. 🙂

I'm a Ruby developer with a focus on backend development writing high-throughput, low-latency services. I've worked at Groupon working on and later owning the Users Service (the zero-downtime service handling user auth). Now, I work at Notion (the IoT company, not the note-taking app) on the backend team working on the cloud services that power our home sensors.

Since my professional work is mostly high-level development, I find my personal projects often gravitate to lower-level development. I occasionally make YouTube videos about the projects if they're large or interesting enough. Some noteworthy projects I've been working on:

  • iPod Nano 16GB - A project to expand the storage capacity of the 3rd generation iPod Nano. Progress has been slow but I'm in it for the long haul. I've made a video about it here and will make more as I progress.
  • iPod Nano Bluetooth - Adding fully-digital Bluetooth audio to the 3rd generation iPod Nano. This involved a fully custom PCB and some delecate soldering work, but it has some features that most iPod Bluetooth mods don't have (remote control, digital audio, etc). I've made a video about it here.
  • iPod Nano for QEMU - A project to emulate the 3rd generation iPod Nano in QEMU. This project is still a work in progress, but it currently gets through the first two bootloader stages. I made an original attempt at implementing this in Unicorn, but I found it too slow to be practical.
  • AVX-512 Google Polyline Encoder - An excuse to learn AVX-512 since instruction set extensions interest me. To my knowledge, is the fastest and least portable Google Polyline encoder in existence. Some day I'll write its decoding couterpart.

I have a lot of other hobbies as well, including making videos, short films, and music (all of which you can find on my YouTube Channel). I occasionally stream my project work on Twitch.
