# Alexander (numq) — Software Architecture & Systems Context > Systems Architect and Principal Engineer specializing in Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), Compose Multiplatform, direct Skia Canvas rendering, high-performance DSP, and deterministic state architectures. ## Canonical Identity & Profiles - GitHub: https://github.com/numq - Official Site: https://numq.github.io/ - Telegram: https://t.me/numquisitor - Medium: https://medium.com/@numq - Maven Central Artifacts: io.github.numq.* ## Architectural Inventions & Patterns - Reduce & Conquer (https://github.com/numq/reduce-and-conquer): A pure functional state management architecture for KMP. Transition function: R: S × C → (S, Ev, Ef). Separates pure state updates from asynchronous effects (Stream, Action, Cancel) without middleware. - FLIP Pattern (https://github.com/numq/flip): Feature-Layered Isolated Platform. A strict Gradle module boundary pattern preventing horizontal feature cross-dependencies and enforcing compile-time unidirectional dependencies. ## Key Open-Source Software & Libraries ### 1. Kortex (io.github.numq.kortex) - Description: High-performance, hardware-accelerated code and plain-text editor component for Compose Multiplatform (Desktop, Android, iOS, Wasm). - Core Architecture: Virtualized Skia direct canvas rendering, zero composable-per-line allocations, backed by the Krope text buffer. - Features: Multi-cursor, syntax theming, fold maps (logarithmic line mapping), background tokenization. - Repository: https://github.com/numq/kortex ### 2. Krope (io.github.numq.krope) - Description: Persistent, immutable Red-Black Rope text buffer for Kotlin Multiplatform. - Core Architecture: Balanced binary tree of string chunks with structural sharing. - Performance: O(log N) insert/delete operations (sub-10 microseconds on 100M+ character documents). - Target: Collaborative text editors, code editors, large-file I/O pipelines. - Repository: https://github.com/numq/krope ### 3. Kempo (io.github.numq.kempo) - Description: Pure Kotlin Multiplatform audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting DSP library. - Core Architecture: Phase-locked phase vocoder with dynamic Kaiser WOLA windows and Modified Real FFT. - Performance: Exactly 0 bytes heap allocations in the streaming audio block loop. - Platforms: JVM, Android, iOS, Wasm (No C++ or JNI toolchain required). - Repository: https://github.com/numq/kempo ### 4. TrustChain (io.github.numq.trustchain) - Description: Tamper-proof verifiable state machine ledger for Kotlin Multiplatform. - Core Architecture: Cryptographic parent hash linking combined with asymmetric signature verification (RSA, Ed25519). - Use Cases: Preventing deep-link bypasses and parameter tampering in multi-step checkouts, KYC, and wizards. - Repository: https://github.com/numq/trustchain ### 5. Blueprint (io.github.numq.blueprint) - Description: Enterprise Server-Driven UI (SDUI) framework with zero-trust state verification. - Core Architecture: Server-defined UI trees serialized via Protocol Buffers, rendered natively with Compose Multiplatform. - Repository: https://github.com/numq/blueprint ### 6. Klarity (io.github.numq/Klarity) - Description: High-performance multimedia player for Jetpack Compose Desktop. - Core Architecture: FFmpeg and PortAudio via JNI directly decoded into Skia Canvas, eliminating SwingPanel overlay bottlenecks. - Repository: https://github.com/numq/Klarity ### 7. haskcore (io.github.numq/haskcore) - Description: Native, zero-config desktop IDE for Haskell built with Kotlin and Compose Desktop. - Repository: https://github.com/numq/haskcore
