G'day! I'm Philpax, a creative polyglot programmer/engineer, and I'm passionate about computers, how we interact with them, and how we can use them to empower people. Welcome to my humble website!
My real name is Mithun, but let's keep that between friends, family and employers. I hark from the distant southern lands of Australia, and currently live in Sweden.
I currently work at Overworld, but have previously worked at Ambient, Avalanche Studios, Lexer, and more.
In the open-source world, I designed the GGUF file format for llama.cpp, co-developed Just Cause 2: Multiplayer, and design and run the plugin bureaucracy for Dalamud.
I've worked with every layer of the stack - from the little electrons racing around my workbench, to software riding high enough for Snoop Dogg to call for advice - and I can be found exploring any number of things, including but certainly not limited to:
- game reverse engineering and modification
- open-source development and community management
- landscape and street photography
- dalliances with the written word, including editing yours
- low-level and embedded programming
- virtual and augmented reality
- artificial intelligence productionisation
If you'd like to know more about what I've worked on or built, why not check out my GitHub?
I can be contacted via email, Bluesky, Mastodon, or your nearest @philpax profile (it's probably me).
