CambiOS: A Rust-based, microkernel operating system designed for formal verification, featuring sovereign identity and zero-trust principles. It boots in QEMU across x86_64, AArch64, and RISC-V architectures. Processes are assigned unforgeable cryptographic identities, and IPC gates restrict access to only allowed endpoints.

An ambitious, secure, intuitive, and open alternative to existing operating systems like Windows. It aims to eliminate latent security issues, corporate surveillance, and centralized identity/data hosting, positioning itself as a 'sovereign identity, zero-trust OS.'

The operating system landscape is burdened by legacy systems with inherent security and privacy vulnerabilities. CambiOS directly challenges this by proposing a Rust-based, microkernel OS built on zero-trust and sovereign identity principles. This represents a fundamental shift towards a more sec...

Stillwind Search: A high-resolution search engine for electronic components. It leverages LLMs to extract over 130,000 properties into more than 1,000 schemas from a proprietary database. An AI agent (Sonnet 4.6) interactively queries this database to find parts based on complex specifications, with a separate model verifying data before display.

Solves the critical problem of time-consuming, tedious, and often ineffective electronic component search. Positions itself as a precise, time-saving solution that finds exact parts in minutes, not hours, for even the most complex specifications.

The electronic component sourcing market is inefficient, causing significant friction for engineers and PCB designers. Stillwind directly addresses this by transforming a manual, time-intensive process into an efficient, AI-driven query. Leveraging LLMs for deep property extraction and an AI agen...
