Email: me@constancebello.dev

I graduated from Fordham University with my B.S. in CompSci this May, but I have been developing projects for over a decade and my fundamentals are tight.

My first publicly released project, Lithium, reached 200,000 downloads before I finished high school. That involved learning Objective-C and Theos, an arcane set of tools for writing tweaks for jailbroken iOS devices. https://github.com/constancebello/lithium

I was an active part of the open source TF2Autobot project's development team and undertook a variety of projects to make the codebase more reliable and readable, add new features, and work around issues as they arose according to best practices using TypeScript. https://github.com/TF2Autobot/tf2autobot/issues?q=is%3Apr%20...

My latest large project, tf2ultimate, has gotten me over $200 in Team Fortress 2 items by identifying profitable arbitrage trades to make using a comprehensive listing matching algorithm with nearly no hardcoded logic to parse the game's item schema, allowing it to learn how items interact with each other directly from the game files. Through this I've learned lots of Rust and PL/pgSQL. I am planning a major refactor with pg_durable, which will unlock big features, like increased fault tolerance and the ability to handle game schema updates without halting listing updates, as well as reasoning about item combinations, taking multiple inputs to produce one output using the game's crafting system. https://codeberg.org/constancebello/tf2ultimate

Location: Bangalore, India

Remote: Yes. I have worked remote-only for six years across US and EU time zones.

Willing to relocate: Yes, with visa sponsorship.

Résumé: https://shantaram.xyz/dl/resume.pdf

GitHub: https://github.com/xyzshantaram

I am looking for Rust/systems work, protocol engineering, agent/coding tooling, or hardware-adjacent software. Open to contract or full-time work.

At my current job, I own nostr-canvas[0], a runtime for running untrusted third-party mini-apps inside compatible Nostr clients, written in Rust and run via WebAssembly. Sandboxed Lua scripts, mini-apps called Tiles, receive explicit capabilities, with capability enforcement implemented in Rust. This means a revoked capability takes effect inside the running worker. I also gave a talk[1] on it at bitcoin++ Nairobi in June 2026.

The same plugin runs in three independent clients with no shared UI code. I also wrote the specification: one NIP plus 26 numbered modules with a dependency graph and three conformance levels.

While working on this, I found and fixed a garbage-collector memory leak in the pure-Rust Lua interpreter [omnilua], and landed the fix upstream[2].

I also built Tile Studio[3], a vibe-coding environment for nostr-canvas applications.

Outside software, I have PCB design and fabrication experience, including an ESP32 Nostr remote signer and a Trezor Model 1 recreation modified for USB-C on the STM32F205. I designed, manufactured, and sold one of these as a complete product[4], including enclosure CAD, firmware, backend, instruction leaflet, and the USB programmer used during assembly.

More recently, I have been working on tooling around coding agents in the form of aidos[5]: a ticketing and verification system built on DeepSeek Harness. Tickets move through a state machine with transition checks that prevent work from being missed and require work to be verifiable. I have also contributed upstream fixes to DSH and plugins in its ecosystem.

Technologies: Rust, TypeScript, C, C++, Lua, Python, WebAssembly, sandboxing/capability security, plugin runtimes, language tooling, AI development tooling, Nostr, Bitcoin protocols (PSBT, Taproot, BIP-375), Deno, Node, React, Postgres, SQLite, Linux, Docker, ESP32/ESP8266/STM32, EasyEDA, OpenSCAD.

Former graphic designer turned software developer with 10+ years of professional experience. Most recently, I've been building highly dynamic frontends with React. Prior to that, I was re-writing legacy desktop applications as web based with Vue + Go + Postgres. I'm comfortable working across the stack, and adapting to new (or old!) technologies.

Currently working on a VST plugin in C++, and I have explored a number of other areas over the years. Such as: mobile, games, graphics programming, and embedded systems.

While most of my work has been web focused, I'm open to working in other areas. Check out my website, sectionfourteen.com, for more detailed info.

I'm a senier frontend engineer with 5+ years of experience.

I've been looking at spec-driven development as well as AI-driven design workflows using specialized tools like v0.

What I can bring:

- Execution - Design taste - Communication w/ other stakeholders - Making technical decisions based off my experience

I'm looking for either a frontend focused role, a full stack role, or a product engineering role. At my previous roles, I was in charge of architecting a navrail/app shell for a new greenfield app for a business expansion, migrated a component library, created data labeling UIs, and led a unit testing initiative. For my personal projects, I've created a novel tennis analytics app using a 5-stage LLM callout, a language learning app with custom flashcard generation, a gym booking app with worked out business logic, and even designed a theme for a newspaper site. I have written more info on my personal blog.
