Active projects

I'm Mars — a full-stack developer based in Philadelphia with 6+ years building production systems at scale.

From hospital IT infrastructure managing 10,000+ machines across 50+ sites to AI companions and marketplace APIs — I think in systems. My north star is MIST, inspired by the AI from Pantheon: an AI that lives locally, thinks independently, and belongs to you.

Currently pursuing an MS in Software Engineering at Penn State. OpenClaw maintainer (PR #22142 merged). Building in public on @1Aether1Rose1.
