Projects
Sigroute
Sigroute is a Linux-native automation system architected and implemented by myself in Rust. It has a decoupled design - a long-running, stable and reliable daemon runs in the background, managing the execution of automations and utilising SQLite for persistence of automations. This communicates with a GUI application using D-Bus IPC. The responsive frontend is built with GTK4 and modern libadwaita standards to fit in with the GNOME ecosystem, and the structure resembles the MVC pattern for extensibility. All of this is supported by the safety and efficiency of Rust.BambooOS
BambooOS is a feature-rich, x86_64 Operating System written in C with a UEFI bootloader, command-line, and support for:
- Higher-half kernel
- ACPI tables (RSDT, XSDT, MCFG, MADT)
- Symmetric Multiprocessing (starting all other APs)
- Full physical memory manager
- Virtual memory manager
- Heap allocator (malloc, free, realloc)
- PCI support
- Standard library functions
- Interrupt handling
- R/W to disk and FAT32 driver
Engine Simulator
Engine Simulator is an application designed to accurately simulate the sound of an engine. Written in C++, the application uses physics and fluid simulations to model the physical engine, combustions, valves, and much more. The application also comes with a custom, completely hand-written UI drawn pixel-by-pixel, which is beautifully animated.SC-8088
The SC-8088 is a computer designed and built by me, using the famous 16-bit Intel 8088 processor (a variant of the 8086). The computer has 992K of RAM and 32K of ROM, so is fairly powerful, and I have plans to add VGA output and PS2 keyboard support soon. This project followed on from a 6502-based computer I built back in 2022, however, this computer is the first which is completely designed by me from the ground up, and was built over the short span of 2 and a half days.And many more...
I have worked on numerous projects in Java, both in the past and recently on my degree course. In addition to the languages used in these projects, I have also worked with Haskell, Python, and Javascript.
