Hi there 👋

I'm a Computer Science student at UC San Diego, passionate about low-level systems, retrocomputing, and embedded development.

---

• 🎓 Academic Focus: Currently pursuing my B.S. in Computer Science, studying all aspects of computers from architectural design and theoretical computation to high-level language design and operating system implementation.

• 📟 Current Main Project: Celeste-Genesis - a faithful, optimized backport of Celeste (2018) to run on the Sega Genesis / Megadrive.

  • Includes a fully custom level format, extensible interface for "Rom-Hacks", and hardware-level optimizations to fit within 4MB ROM and 64KB RAM.

• Other Active Projects:

  • XanaduOS, a homebrew x86_64 operating system which runs POSIX-compliant software such as bash, bc, and vim.
  • CCVim, a text editor for ComputerCraft written in Lua, which implements the same control scheme as Vim.

• 🔬 Recent Explorations:

  • Interfacing with USB via the Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) standard over PCI on x86, for XanaduOS
  • Working with LLVM to improve the LLVM backend for the Z80 architecture, for writing software for my TRS-80 Model 4.
  • Designing a Scratch-compatible compiler that emits optimized block code, allowing for more advanced software to be written.

• 🛠️ Languages & Tools:

  • C / C++ - Lua - Assembly (x86/_64, 6502, Z80, 68k) - Python - HTML/CSS/JS
  • Vim - QEMU - Git - Linux

• ⚡️ Fun Fact: I love aviation, and plan to work on avionics!
