Pk11 is a software engineer with seven years of hands-on experience building and refining system-level tools and user-facing features, particularly for handheld gaming platforms like Nintendo DS/3DS. Their open-source work includes significant contributions to well-known projects such as GodMode9 and TWiLightMenu, where they enhanced Unicode support, custom fonts, UI/UX, and theme integrations. They pair low-level technical skill—working with RIFF font formats, multibyte input, and DSiWare save generation—with practical UX improvements like RAM viewers and in-game menus. Comfortable across full-stack and back-end roles, they also improve tooling for content workflows (FanFicFare), showing attention to robustness and internationalization. A detail-oriented engineer based in the U.S., they bring a niche expertise in console homebrew ecosystems that blends reverse-engineering mindset with user-centered polish.
