Selected Projects

Native Windows desktop applications, network engineering tools, and system utilities built from scratch.

Featured · Desktop & System Utility v1.0.1 · Windows x64

Download-X (DLX)

Multi-Threaded Desktop Download Manager & Chromium Browser Extension

An accelerated Windows download manager built with Electron, React, and TypeScript. DLX splits files across up to 16 parallel HTTP Range connections, integrates with Chrome, Edge, and Brave through a Manifest V3 extension and Native Messaging Host, and includes a built-in BitTorrent engine and ISO MP4 stream muxer.

  • 16-Connection Segmented Engine: Concurrent HTTP/HTTPS Range chunking with per-segment progress tracking, pause/resume recovery, and live speed limiting.
  • Browser & 1080p Stream Integration: Manifest V3 extension (com.dlx.downloadmanager) that intercepts browser downloads and muxes adaptive video/audio streams into standard ISO MP4 files.
  • BitTorrent & Smart Queue: Native .torrent and magnet link downloading via WebTorrent with automatic file categorization and Windows Explorer thumbnail extraction.

Network Telemetry & Diagnostics Standalone Windows .EXE

NetX

Real-Time Windows Network Monitor & Active Socket Inspector

A standalone Windows network utility that queries live OS hardware counters, wireless radio state, and active TCP/UDP sockets directly from the system—with zero simulated or placeholder metrics.

NIC Throughput .NET GetIPStatistics() & netstat -e
Process Sockets netstat -ano TCP/UDP + tasklist PIDs
WLAN & Subnet netsh wlan BSSID + ARP & ICMP sweep
  • Process-to-Socket Correlation: Maps active remote TCP/UDP connections to running Windows executables with reverse-DNS hostname lookup.
  • Persistent Bandwidth Store: Records real hourly, daily, and monthly RX/TX usage buckets locally in %APPDATA%\NetX.
  • Diagnostic & Spectrum Suite: Includes Cloudflare HTTPS throughput tests, Wi-Fi BSSID channel scanner, LAN ARP discovery, Ping, Traceroute, DNS (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT), and TCP port checks.

Router Administration & QoS v1.0.0 Release

TendaManager

Local-First Desktop Router Management & Bandwidth Control for Tenda F3

A Windows desktop administration client for Tenda F3 wireless routers that replaces the embedded web UI with automatic gateway discovery, per-device bandwidth QoS, and DPAPI-encrypted credential storage.

Target Hardware Tenda F3 (v2.0 – v5.0)
Operating Modes Router · Repeater · WISP · AP
Credential Vault Windows DPAPI Encryption
Diagnostics Cloudflare Edge + 7-Step Check
  • Connected Devices & QoS Control: View active LAN/Wi-Fi clients, assign friendly labels, block MAC addresses, and enforce per-device upload/download caps (/goform/setQos).
  • Wireless & Universal Repeater Setup: Scan 2.4 GHz networks (wifiScan) and configure repeater, WISP, AP, or router modes with automatic ARP OUI gateway discovery.
  • Security-First Local Design: Encrypts credentials via Electron safeStorage (Windows DPAPI) and redacts passwords, cookies, and public WAN IPs from diagnostic exports.

About Kurui Ian

Software development grounded in systems thinking, network visibility, and security.

Kurui Ian Kipkemboi (Kurui) — Software Developer and Systems Engineer

Building practical software for desktop, network, and web environments.

I’m Kurui Ian Kipkemboi (also known as Kurui Ian or simply Kurui)—a software developer and systems engineer in Kenya specializing in multi-threaded desktop utilities, local hardware administration tools, and full-stack web applications. I work close to the operating system and network layer, turning low-level protocols, socket telemetry, and router interfaces into clean, dependable software.

Whether authoring open-source Windows applications like Download-X (DLX), NetX, and TendaManager in Electron and TypeScript, or engineering modern web platforms and backend services, I focus on clarity, maintainability, and security from the start.

Desktop Applications

Electron, React, TypeScript, native OS integration, and NSIS/portable packaging.

Networking & Security

Router management, QoS bandwidth control, socket telemetry, LAN discovery, and app security.

Web & Backend

Modern responsive frontends, Node.js and Python services, REST APIs, and browser extensions.
