ThiersLabs

Software developer - the Netherlands

Hi, I'm Sam.I build fast desktop tools. cross-platform apps. compression codecs. my own typeface. things from scratch.

ThiersLabs is where my projects live: from a file archiver that beats LZ4 at decompression to a cryptosystem, a file explorer and a font. Built to be fast, clean and genuinely useful.

Featured projects

All projects

SAT-ZIP

Fast desktop archiver with its own codec

A Windows archiver powered by a custom high-throughput LZ codec whose decompression beats LZ4. Reads and writes .satz, .zip, .7z, .tar and .tar.xz, integrates into the Explorer right-click menu and ships with a built-in benchmark lab.

SAT-OBELISK

A small sponge-based cryptosystem

Built on one 384-bit permutation: authenticated encryption, hashing, key derivation, key wrapping and file encryption. A research and teaching project, not a replacement for audited crypto.

SAT Explorer

A faster, more original file explorer

A Windows file explorer in the spirit of Total Commander, built to match the built-in Explorer while being faster. Strict layering between the engine and the UI, native Win32 enumeration, git and SVN status columns and themes.
