Jordan Hause

I build and run software from the metal up: security, infrastructure, hardware and client-side software, plus the web. I started out writing security software for the Windows kernel, and I still like owning every layer.

Selected work

From the kernel up to the browser. I can walk you through any of these in detail.

  1. Security

    Kernel and driver security software, then my own systems

    At Mutiny Digital Group I spent three and a half years as a senior software engineer on Windows kernel-mode and driver security software, along with the reverse engineering that work depends on. It shipped to more than 1,000 users.

    I bring the same habits to everything I run now. I harden my own servers and keep deploys staged, dev first and then production. For my own data I built a tamper-evident integrity system: hash chains keyed with a secret, checked against a witness server on a separate machine, so tampering is detected and repaired on its own.

    Stack
    C, C++, Windows kernel-mode drivers
    Covers
    Driver security, reverse engineering, hardening, integrity checking

  2. Infrastructure

    A self-hosted Windows server and the Horai release flow

    I run my own Windows Server 2022 machine. It hosts around 25 sites on Apache 2.4, PHP and MariaDB, and I have run Postgres, Redis and Node services on it as Windows services through NSSM. I manage the domains and DNS myself, with Cloudflare in front.

    Horai & Co. runs on AWS Lightsail. Every release goes to a dev server first and then to production, and SQL migrations run before the code that depends on them. I wrote the deploy and monitoring tooling I use for all of it.

    Stack
    Windows Server 2022, Apache 2.4, PHP, MariaDB, NSSM, Cloudflare, AWS Lightsail
    Covers
    Hosting, DNS, staged releases, migrations, monitoring

  3. Systems and client-side software

    Software that runs on your own machine

    I write desktop and client applications in C and C++. Right now that includes a Unity 6 multiplayer game, with co-op, an economy, jobs and quests, that is headed for a release on Steam. I also build real-time voice tools: a voice changer that shows up as an ordinary microphone, and VTuber tooling like vtforge.

    Stack
    C, C++, Unity 6

  4. Hardware

    Radar and RF hardware, PCB design, embedded work

    I work on radar and RF hardware and design my own PCBs. Project Tenzo is my ESP32 project, part of the embedded work I do next to the software.

    I also do the hardware and crash diagnostics on my own machines, including repeated rounds of WHEA error and bluescreen investigation on my workstation.

  5. Wozniak Coffee Test

    Solo project, open source

    A game for AI agents, built on Steve Wozniak's old test for machine intelligence: walk into a house you have never seen and make a cup of coffee. The agent gets a procedurally generated house, sees it only through rendered first-person images, and acts by pointing at pixels. It runs as an MCP server, so any agent that speaks MCP can take the test.

    Stack
    Bun, TypeScript, three.js rendered in headless Chromium

  6. Horai & Co.

    Storefront, point of sale and wholesale ordering, front end and back end

    Horai & Co. is a matcha business here in Georgetown. I built its online storefront, its point-of-sale system, and a panel where wholesale customers place their orders. The release flow behind it is in the infrastructure entry above.

    Stack
    PHP, JavaScript, SQL, Stripe, AWS Lightsail

  7. Cutsune

    The whole product, pipeline to web app

    Cutsune turns VTuber streams into vertical clips ready for Shorts. I build all of it: the video pipeline that cuts and renders the clips, and the web app people use to manage them.

    Stack
    PHP, Python, MariaDB, video pipeline

Also on the bench

  • MCP and LLM toolsA working collection of MCP servers and small utilities for language models.
  • Browser automationTools that drive Chromium to do the clicking for me.
  • Project KotodamaA 90-day Japanese course, written in PHP, for the staff at Horai & Co.

  1. The Wozniak Coffee Test

    I turned Steve Wozniak's coffee test into a game for AI agents. Pointing at pixels turned out to be the hard part, and a lot of what went wrong was my fault, not theirs.

About

I'm Jordan. I build and run software across the whole stack, from Georgetown, Texas.

I started in security. For three and a half years I was a senior software engineer at Mutiny Digital Group, working on Windows kernel-mode and driver security software. That job taught me to read code I didn't write, to reverse engineer what has no documentation, and to think about how software fails before it ships. I still work that way.

Today that covers a lot of ground. I run my own Windows server and the release flow for Horai & Co., write desktop software in C and C++, build a Unity 6 multiplayer game, and work on radar and RF hardware, PCB design and ESP32 projects. The web is one part of it, not all of it. I like owning a product end to end: the machine it runs on, the code underneath, the deploy, and the screen a customer actually touches.

I'm looking for a full-time team to join, and I take on freelance work in the meantime.
