High-performance C development for data-intensive systems, with explicit emphasis on
time-indexed / log-structured in-memory engines (e.g., Timelog-class designs).
Use when building advanced data structures, algorithms, or libraries in C with focus on:
memory efficiency, cache locality, immutable segment layouts, atomic publication, snapshot reads,
SIMD/bit operations, and (future) Python bindings.
Applies to: custom allocators, paged/segment storage, compression and bitmaps, index structures,
single-writer/multi-reader concurrency patterns, background maintenance (flush/compaction),
and performance-critical library development.
